"Poor Wayfaring Stranger"
(Traditional)

I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger
I'm wanderin' through a world of woe
But there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land where I'll go
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 home
Darkness grows around me
My way's been rough and steep
But beautiful fields lie just before me
When I lay me down to sleep
I'm going there to see my father
He said he'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going home
I'll soon be free of earthly trials
My story over, my body will rest
My soul will fly in heavenly triumph
And I'll go singing home at last
I'm going there to see my lover
He said he'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going home
I'm only going home
