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 |
