Wayfairing Stranger

"Wayfairing Stranger" is a traditional American folk / gospel song from the early 1800's. [Intro - Banjo - Humming] [Verse 1] I am a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world of woe But there's no sickness, toil or danger In that great world to which I go [Chorus] I'm going there to see my Father I'm going there no more to roam I'm only goin' over Jordan I'm only goin' over home [Verse 2] I know dark clouds will gather 'round me I know my way is rough and steep But beauteous fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed there vigils keep [Chorus] I'm going there to see my Mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm only goin' over Jordan I'm only goin' over home [Verse 3] I want to wear a crown of glory When I get home to that bright land I want to shout salvation's story Together with the angel band [Final Chorus - Majestic] I'm goin' there to meet my Savior To sing His praises forevermore I am just goin' over Jordan I am just goin' over home I am just goin' over home
