| I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger, |
| Dm | Am | |
| Travelling | through this world be | low. |
| There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger, |
| Dm | E | Am | |
| In that bright | land | To which I | go. |

| I'm going | there to see my | father, |
| F | E | E7 | E | |
| And all my | loved ones who've gone | on |
| Am | Dm | E | Am | |
| I'm just | going over Jordan, I'm just | going | over | home. |

| I know dark clouds will gather round me, |
| I know my way is hard and steep. |
| But beauteous fields arise before me, |
| Where God's redeemed their vigils keep. |
| I'm going there to see my mother, |
| She said she'd meet me when I come. |
| I'm just going over Jordan, I'm just going over home. |
| I'm just going over Jordan, I'm just going over home... |
