[Intro]
Dm Gm A# C
[Verse I]
Dm
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
Gm Dm
By travelling through this world of woe.
Dm
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
Gm A Dm
In that bright world to which I go.
[Chorus]
F A# Dm
I'm going there to see my Father,
A# Dm
I'm going there no more to roam!
F Dm
I'm only going over Jordan,
C Dm
I'm only going over home.
[Verse II]
Dm
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,
Gm Dm
I know my way is rough and steep
Dm
But golden fields lie out before me,
Gm C Dm
Where gods redeemed shall ever sleep.
[Chorus]
F A# Dm
I'm going there to see my mother,
A# Dm
She said she'd meet me when I come
F Dm
I'm only going over Jordan,
C Dm
I'm only going over home.

[Verse III]
Dm
I'll soon be free from ev'ry trial,
Gm Dm
My body sleeps in the churchyard
Dm
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
Gm C Dm
And enter on my great reward.
[Chorus]
F A# Dm
I'm going there to see my Savior,
A# Dm
To sing his praise for evermore,
F Dm
I'm only going over Jordan,
C Dm
I'm only going over home.
