            Em 
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger 
             Am7                 B7(4)  B7 
Traveling through this world of woe 
            Em 
There's no sickness 

No, toil, nor danger 
          Am   B7 
In that bright 
            Em 
To which I go

I'm going there to see my mother 
                C              B7 
She said she'd meet me when I come 
             Em 
So I'm just going over Jordan 
            Am7  B7        Em 
I'm just a go____ing over home 



              Em 
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me 
           Am7               B7(4)  B7 
I know my way is rough and steep 
               Em 
But beauteous fields arise before me 
               Am7   B7 
Where God's redeemed 
              Em 
Their vigils keep 



            C              G 
I'm going there to see my father 
            C                B7 
I'm going there, no more to roam 
            Em 
I'm just a going over Jordan 
            Am7  B7        Em 
I'm just a go____ing over home 



 

               Em 
I'll soon be free from Earthly trials 
           Am7                   B7(4)  B 
This body rest in the old churchyard 
                 Em 
I'll drop this cross of self-denial 
        Am7  B7           Em 
And go sin__ging home to God 



            C           G 
I'm going there to see my savior 
            C            B7 
I'm going there no more to roam 
            Em 
I'm just a going over Jordan 
            Am7  B7    Em 
I'm just a go____ing over home
