C        C/G      
I am a poor wayfaring stranger 
            Bb                   Csus4 
Traveling through this world of woe 
                 C          C/G 
Yet there's no sickness, no toil or danger 
               Bb               C 
In that bright world to which I go 
 
           F                Bb 
I'm going there to see my father 
           F                 Bb           
I'm going there no more to roam 
          C    C/G 
I'm only going over Jordan 
         F      Bb    C 
I'm only going over home, yes Lord 
 
SOLO 
 
I know dark clouds will gather around me 
I know my way is rough and steep 
Yet beauteous fields lie just 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 only going over Jordan 
I'm only going over home, goin' home now 
 
Oh, somebody show me the way home
