Am   Dm   Am

 

Am

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger,

          Dm                   Am

travelin' through this world below.

 

There's no sickness, no toil, nor danger,

        Dm     E               Am

in that bright land to which I go.

 

 

          F               C

I'm going there to see my Father

           F                      E    E7

and all my loved ones who've gone on.

         Am

I'm just goin' over Jordan,

         Dm    E    Am

I'm just goin' over home.

 

 

Am

I know dark clouds will gather round me,

          Dm              Am

I know my way is hard and steep.

 

But beauteous fields arise before me,

              Dm     E            Am

where God's redeemed their vigils keep.

 

 

          F               C

I'm going there to see my Mother,

               F              E    E7

she said she'd meet me when I come.

         Am

I'm just goin' over Jordan,

         Dm    E    Am

I'm just goin' over home.

         Am

I'm just goin' over Jordan,

         Dm    E    Am

I'm just goin' over home.
