I [B]
[E]
am a poor wayfaring stranger I'm traveling through this world of fear
Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger In that bright [A] land to [E] which I [E] go
I'm going [C] there to see [G] my father I'm going [C] there no [Em] more to roam
[E]
I'm only going [Em] over [E] Jordan I'm only [D] going over
[E]
I know dark clouds will gather round me I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep
I'm [C] going home to see [G] my mother And all [C] my loved ones who've [B] gone on
[E]
I'm only [Em]
going over Jordan [E]
I'm [D] only going over
[E]
[D]
I'll soon be free from every trial My body sleep in the churchyard
I'll drop the cross of self-denial And enter on my great reward
I'm going [C] there to see my [G] savior To sing [C] his praise [Em]
forevermore
I'm only going over Jordan I'm only [E]
going [Em] over
[E] [N]
[E]
am a poor wayfaring stranger I'm traveling through this world of fear
Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger In that bright [A] land to [E] which I [E] go
I'm going [C] there to see [G] my father I'm going [C] there no [Em] more to roam
[E]
I'm only going [Em] over [E] Jordan I'm only [D] going over
[E]
I know dark clouds will gather round me I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep
I'm [C] going home to see [G] my mother And all [C] my loved ones who've [B] gone on
[E]
I'm only [Em]
going over Jordan [E]
I'm [D] only going over
[E]
[D]
I'll soon be free from every trial My body sleep in the churchyard
I'll drop the cross of self-denial And enter on my great reward
I'm going [C] there to see my [G] savior To sing [C] his praise [Em]
forevermore
I'm only going over Jordan I'm only [E]
going [Em] over
