Poor Wayfaring Stranger
Traditional

I am a (F#m7)poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling (Bm)through this world of (F#m7)woe
And there's no sickness, toil nor (B7)danger
In that bright (Bm)land (E)to which I (F#m7)go

  I'm goin' (D)home to see my (A)mother
  I'm goin' (D)home no more to (C#7)roam
  I'm just a-(F#m7)goin' over Jordan
  I'm just a-(B7)goin' (C#7)over (F#m7)home

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my (Bm)way is rough and (F#m7)steep
The golden fields lie just be(B7)fore me
Where weary (Bm)eyes (C#7)no more will (F#m7)weep

  I'm goin' (D)home to see my (A)father
  I'm goin' (D)home no more to (C#7)roam
  I'm just a-(F#m7)goin' over Jordan
  I'm just a-(B7)goin' (C#7)over (F#m7)home


I'll soon be freed from every trial
My body asleep in the church-yard
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter on my great reward

  I'm going to see my brothers
  Who've gone before me one by one
  I'm only going over Jordan
  I'm only going over home

I want to wear a crown of glory
When I get home to that good land
I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with the blood-washed hand

  I'm going there to see my Savior
  To sing His praise forever more
  I'm only going over Jordan
  I'm only going over home
