[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While journeying through
This world of woe
Yeah, and there's no sickness
Toil nor danger
In that bright land
To which I go

[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there
No more to roam
I'm only go-
Going over Jordan
I'm only go-
Going over home

[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds
Will gather on me
I know my way
My way is rough and steep
Yeah, and beautiful fields
Lie just before me
And God's redeemed
Their vigils keep
[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there
No more to roam
I'm only go-
Going over Jordan
I'm only go-
Going over home

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
I'm going there, oh, to see my Mother
I'm going there
No more to roam
I'm only go-
Going over Jordan
I'm only go-
Going over home

[Verse 3]
I want to wear
That crown of glory
When I get home
To that good land
Well, I want to shout
Salvation's story
In concert with
All the blood-washed band
[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Saviour
I'm going there
No more to roam
I'm only go-
Going over Jordan
I'm only go-
Going over home
Well, I'm only go-
Going over home
Yeah, only
