Am
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
                 Dm                  Am
While travelling through this world alone
                           
There is no sickness, toil nor danger
               Dm              Am
In that bright land to which I go


[Verse 2]
 
I'm going there to see my mother
          Dm              Am
I'm going home no more to roam
         
I am just going over Jordan
          Dm         Am
I am just going over home


[Verse 3]

I know dark clouds will hover over me
          Dm                   Am
I know my pathway is rough and steep
                         
The golden fields lie out before me
            Dm                Am
Where weary eyes no more will weep


[Verse 4]

I'm going home to see my father
          Dm              Am
I'm going home no more to roam
         
I am just going over Jordan
          Dm         Am
I am just going over home


[Verse 5]

I'll soon be free from every trial
                Dm               Am
This form shall rest beneath the sod

I'll drop the cross of self-denial
          Dm              Am
And enter in that home of good


[Verse 6]

I'm going home to see my saviour
                Dm                 Am
Who spilled his precious blood for me
         
I am just going over Jordan
          Dm         Am
I am just going over home
         
I am just going over Jordan
          Dm         Am
I am just going over home
