(intro) Am Dm E Am

            Am
I’m  just a poor wayfaring stranger,
                Dm                Am
    traveling through this world below.

    There’s no sickness, no, toil, nor danger
                   Dm      E             Am
    in that bright land        to which I go.

                F              C
    I’m going there to see my Father
                F                      B7  E
    and all my loved ones who’ve gone home.
             Am                          Dm - E       Am
    I’m just going over Jordan, I’m just go….ing over home.

( Am  Dm  Am       Am  Dm  E  Am )

                 Am
    I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,
              Dm               Am
    I know my way is hard and steep.

    But beauteous fields arise before me,
                   Dm      E                 Am
    where God’s redeemed        their vigils keep.

                F              C
    I’m going there to see my mother,
                    F             B7   E
    she said she’d meet me when I come.
                 Am                         Dm  E       Am
    So I’m just going over Jordan, I’m just go….ing over home.
             Am                          Dm  E      Am
    I’m just going over Jordan, I’m just go…ing over home.
