[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While travellin' through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright world to which I go

[Chorus 1]
I'm going there to see 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, duteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep

[Chorus 2]
I’m going there to see my mother
She said she need me when I came
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
