Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics

I'm just a poor

Wayfaring stranger

Traveling through

This world of woe

But there's no sickness

Toil or danger

In that bright land

To which I go

I'm going there

Gonna see my father

I'm going there

No more to roam

I'm just a going

Going over Jordan

I'm just a going

I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

I know dark clouds

Will gather 'round me

I know my pathway

Is rough and steep

But golden fields

Lie out before me

Where weary eyes

No more shall weep

I'm going there

Gonna meet my mother

She said she'd meet me

When I come

I'm just a going

Going over Jordan

I'm just a going

I'm going home

I want to synch

Salvation's story

In concert with

That blood-washed band

And I want to wear

A crown of glory

When I get to

That promised land

I'm going there

Gonna see my brothers

And my sisters

Who've gone before

I'm just a going

Going over Jordan

I'm just a going

I'm going home

I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

I'll soon be free

From every trial

This form will rest

Beneath the sod

I'll drop the cross

Of self-denial

And enter in

My home with God

I'm going there

Gonna see my Savior

Who shed for me

His precious blood

I'm just a going

Going over Jordan

I'm just a going

I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home

O-o-oh I'm going home
