Song lyrics

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wandering through this land of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to meet my mother
She said she'll meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over to home

I'll soon be free of every trial
My body rests in the old graveyard
I'll drop my cross of self-denial
And enter on my great reward
I'm going there to meet my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I want to wear the crown of glory
When I get home to that good land
I want to shout salvation's glory
In concert with the blood washed band
I'm going there to meet my savior
To sing his praise forever more
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
