I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger,
Travelin' through this world below
There is no sickness, no toil, no danger,
In that bright land to which I go.

I'm goin' there to see my father
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,
I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me,
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep

I'm goin' there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
So, I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home
I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home
