Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics

I’m just a poor

Wayfaring stranger

Traveling through

This world below

There is no sickness

Toil or danger

In this bright land

To which I go

I’m goin’ there

To see my father

He said he’d meet

Me when I go

I’m just going

Over Jordan

I’m just goin’

Over home

I know dark clouds

Will gather round’ me

I know my way

Is hard and steep

But golden fields

Arise before me

Where gods redeem

Their vigils keep

I’m going there

To see my mother

She said she’d meet me

When I go

I’m just going

Over Jordan

I’m just going

Over home

I’m just going

Over home
