Lyrics:
I’m just a poor wayfarin stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
But there’s no sickness no toil no danger
In that bright world to which I go
I’m going there gonna see my father (mother, Saviour)
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only goin over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep
I’ll soon be free from every trial
My body asleep in that ol’ graveyard
I’ll drop the cross of self denial
And enter on my great reward
