Wayfaring Stranger

Wayfaring Stranger - Various Artists

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world alone

And there's be no sickness

Toil or danger

In that bright land to which I go

And I'm going there to see my mother

She said she'd meet me when I come

But I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home

And I know dark clouds

Will gather 'round me

And I know my way is rough and steep

And the beautiful fields lie

Just before me

Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

And I'm going there to see my mother

And I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just goin' over Jordan

I'm just goin' over home
