in Cm
I'm just a Cmpoor wayfaring stranger,
A traveling Fmthrugh this world of Cmwoe,
But there's no Cmsickness, no toil, nor danger,
In that fair Fmland G7 to which I Cmgo.
I'm going Abhome to see my EbFather,
I'm going Abthere. Eb no more to G7roam,
I'm only Cmgoing over Jordan,
I'm only Fmgo-_G7in' over Cmhome.
I know dark Cmclouds will gather o're me,
I know my Fmway is rough and Cmsteep,
But golden Cmfields lie just be-yond me,
Where souls re-Fmdeemed G7 their vigil Cmkeep.
Where weary eyes no more will weep.
I'm going Abthere to meet Ebmy mother,
She said she'd Abmeet Eb me when I G7come,
I'm only Cmgoing over Jordan,
I'm only Fmgo-_G7ing over Cmhome.
I'll soon be free from every trial,
This form will rest beneath the sod;
I'll drop the cross of self-denial,
And enter in my home with God.
I'm going there to see my brothers,
They passed before me one by one;
I'm just a going over Jordan,
I'm just a going over home.
I want to sing salvations story,
In concert with the blood-washed band,
I want to wear a crown of glory,
When I get home to that good land.
I'm going there to see my Saviour,
Who shed for me His precious blood;
I'm just a going over Jordan,
I'm just a going over home.
