Wayfaring Stranger (traditional) Lyrics - 16 Horsepower

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger 

Travelin' through a world of woe 

Ain't no sickness, toil or danger 

In that bright land to which I go 

I'm goin' there to see my father 

Said he'd meet me when I come 

I'm only goin' over Jordan 

I'm only goin' over home 

I know dark clouds gonna gather 'round me 

I know my way will be rough and steep 

Yet beautiful fields lie just before me 

Where God's redeemed their vigils keep 

I'm goin' there to see my brothers 

Gone before me one by one 

I'm only goin' over Jordan 

I'm only goin' over home 

I'll soon be free from earthly trials 

This body rest in the old churchyard 

I'll drop this cross of self-denial 

And go singing home to God 

I'm goin' there to see my Savior 

To dwell with Him, no more to roam 

I'm only goin' over Jordan 

I'm only goin' over home 

I'm only goin' over home
