Im  a poor wayfaring stranger
	                           
While traveling thru this world of woe

Yet theres no sickness, toil, or danger
	                       
In that bright world to which I go
	                  
Im going there to see my Father
	                 
Im going there no more to roam
	   
Im only going over Jordan
	           
Im only going over home

SOLO


I know dark clouds will hang round me,
                         
I know my way is rough and steep

Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
                                 
Where Gods redeemed their virgils keep
                        
Im going there to see my mother
                          
She said shed meet me when I come
	   
I'm only going over Jordan
	           
I'm only going over home

SOLO
