Verse 1
I am a poor wayfaring stranger While traveling through this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger In that bright world to which I go.
Chorus I'm going there to meet my Father I'm going there no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home.
Verse 2
I know dark clouds Will gather round me I know my way Is rough and steep Yet beautiful fields Lie just before me Where god’s redeemed their vigils keep

I'm going there to meet my mother
She said she’d meet me
When I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home. I'm only going over home
