[D] [Am]
[Dm]
[E] [A]
[Am] I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger, [Dm] traveling through this world [Am] below.
[A] There is no [Am] sickness, no toil, nor danger in that [Dm] bright land [E] to [Fm] which [Am] I go.
I'm going [F] there to see [C] my father and all [F] my loved ones who've [E] gone on.
I'm [Am] just going over Jordan.
I'm [Dm] just going [E] over [Am] home.
[D]
[Am]
[Dm]
[E] I [Am]
know dark clouds will gather around me.
I know my [Dm]
way is hard [Am] and steep.
But [D] [Am] beauteous fields arise before me where God's [Dm]
redeems [E] their [Am] vigils keep.
I'm [F] going there to see [C] my mother.
She said she'd [F] meet me when [E] I come.
So I'm [Am] just going over Jordan.
I'm [Dm] just going [Am] over home.
I'm just going over Jordan.
I'm [Dm] just [Em] going over [Am] home.
