Wayfaring Stranger

I am a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through lands I don’t know And there’s no sickness toil or danger In that bright world to which I go I’m going home to see my father Up in the sky no fields to roam I’m just a goin’ over Jordan I wanna go back to my home I know dark clouds will gather round me They’ll taunt my soul no further more When those white gates are open to me I’ll leave these fields that I abhor I’m going there to meet me my mother She said she’d meet me when I come I’m just a goin’ over Jordan I wanna go back to my home I’m going home to meet my savior To sing his praises evermore I’m only going over Jordan I’m going there to be at home
