Em
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Am Em
While traveling through this world of woe

Yet there's no sickness toil or danger
Am Em
In that bright world to which I go

1st Chorus:
C G
I'm going there to see my Father
C Em B7
I'm going there no more to roam
Em
I'm only going over Jordon
Am Em
I'm only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep

2nd Chorus:
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordon
I'm only going over home
