Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Peter Hollens]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
But there's nosickness, toil or danger
In that bright land (land) to which I go (go)

[Chorus: Peter Hollens]
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a-going over Jordan (Oh)
I'm just a-going over home (go)

[Verse 2: The Swingle Singers]
I know dark clouds will gather round me (I know clouds will gather round)
I know my way is rough and steep (I know my way is rough and steep)
But golden fields lie out before me
Where God's redeemed, no more shall weep

[Chorus: The Swingle Singers]
I'm going there to see my mother
She says she'd meet me when I come (she'd meet me when I come)
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home (my home)

[Verse 3: The Swingle Singers]
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
My body sleep in the old churchyard
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter in my great reward (an enter in my great reward)

[Chorus: The Swingle Singers]
I'm going, I'm going there to see my Saviour (to see my Saviour, my Saviour)
I'm going there no more to roam (no more to roam)
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over (going over)
Home

[Outro]
Over home
Over home
I'm just a-going over home
