Poor Wayfaring Stranger Songtext
von Veritas

I′m just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
And all my loved ones who′ve gone on


I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I′m going over Jordan

I know dark clouds will gather ′round me
I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields rise 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
So I′m just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home
