Poor Wayfaring Stranger |
I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger |
I’m wandered through a world of woe |
But there’s no sickness, toil or danger |
In that bright land where I go |
I’m going there to see my mother |
Said she’d meet me when I come |
I’m only going over Jordan |
I’m only going home |
Darkness grows 'round me |
My ways been rough and steep |
But beautiful fields lay just before me |
Where I will lay me down to sleep |
I’m going there to see my father |
He said he’d meet me when I come |
I’m only going over Jordan |
I’m only going home |
I’ll soon be free of earthy trials |
My story over, my body will rest |
My soul will fly in heavenly triumph |
And I’ll go singing home at last |
I’m going there to see my lover |
He said he’d meet me when I come |
I’m only going over Jordan |
I’m only going home, I’m only going home |
