Lyrics:

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land for which I go
I'm goin' there to see my father
I'm goin' there no more to roam
I'm only goin' over Jordan
I'm only goin' over home

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet golden fields lie out before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
I'm goin' there to see my mother
She said she'll meet me when I come
I'm only goin' over Jordan
I'm only goin' over home
