I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone
There is no sickness, toil nor danger

In that fair land to which I go

I'm going home

To see my mother
I'm going home
No more to roam

I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home


I know dark clouds will hover over me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me

Where weary eyes no more will weep
I'm going home to see my father
I'm going home no more to roam

I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home


I'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self-denial

And enter in that home with God
I'm going home to see my savior
Who spilled his precious blood for me

I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home
