[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go

[Chorus]
I'm goin' there to see my father
I'm goin' there no more to roam
I'm only goin' over to Jordan
I'm only goin' over home
Yes, Lord

[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way, is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

[Chorus]
I'm goin' there to see my father
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only goin' over to Jordan
I'm only goin' over home

[Outro]
I'm goin' home now
Oh, somebody show me the way home
