Am              C  
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,  
G                 Am  
Traveling through this world of woe;  
Am              C  
But there's no sickness, toil, or danger  
G                Am  
In that bright land to which I go.  

Am               C  
I'm going there to see my mother,  
G                Am  
I'm going there, no more to roam;  
Am              C  
I am just going over Jordan,  
G                Am  
I am just going over home.  

Am              C  
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,  
G                      Am  
I know my path is rough and steep;  
Am                C  
But golden fields lie out before me,  
G                  Am  
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep.  

Am               C  
I'm going there to see my mother,  
G                Am  
I'm going there, no more to roam;  
Am              C  
I am just going over Jordan,  
G                Am  
I am just going over home.
