C5        C5      
I am a poor wayfaring stranger 
            Bb5                   C5 
Traveling through this world of woe 
                 C5          C5 
Yet there's no sickness, no toil or danger 
               Bb5               C5 
In that bright world to which I go 
 

           F5                Bb5 
I'm going there to see my father 
           F5                 Bb5           
I'm going there no more to roam 
          C5    C5 
I'm only going over Jordan 
         F5      Bb5    C5 
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
