Verse 1
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger, 
A travellin' through this world of woe,
But there's no sickness, no toil or danger, 
To that bright world to which I go,

Bridge 1
I'm going there to see my Father, 
I'm going there no more to roam,
I'm just a going over Jordan, 
I'm just a going over home.

Verse 2
I know dark clouds will gather round me, 
I know my way is rough and steep;
But golden fields they lie out before me 
Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep.

Bridge 2
I'm going there to see my mother, 
She said she'd meet me when I come;
I'm only going over Jordan, 
I'm only going over home. 

Verse 3
I'm just a poor wandering Christian, 
Needing the love that He gives me,
My life is full of stumbles and failures, 
When without Him I try to be,

Bridge 3
He'll take me there to see my Father, 
O for that day my heart yearns so,
'Cause when  you are a wand'ring Christian, 
You need His love and saving grace.

Verse 4
You may have been the poor in spirit, 
Or you are meek, needing His love,
You may have always hungered and thirsted, 
Looked for a life full of His love,

Bridge 4
He'll take you there to see His Father, 
You know it's true, He's promised so,
No need to stray, His love is near you, 
Soon He will come to take us home.
