Lyrics
Verse 1
I am a poor wayfaring stranger while traveling through this world of woe.
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger in that bright world to which I go.
Chorus
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;
but golden fields lie out before me where God's redeemed shall ever sleep.
Verse 3
I'm going there to see my mother. She said she'd meet me when I come.
I'll soon be free from every trial, my body sleep in the churchyard.
Verse 4
I'll drop the cross of self denial and enter on my great reward.
I'm going there to see my Savior to sing His praise forevermore.
