[Verse 1]
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
While travelin' through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright world to which I go

[Chorus 1]
I'm goin' there to see my father
I'm goin' there no more to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds will gather o'er me
I know my path is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes no more shall weep

[Chorus 2]
I'm goin' there to see my savior
Who shed for me his precious blood
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
