Wayfaring Stranger is a traditional folk song covered by many artists; Burl Ives may be the best known.


I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
There's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go

Chorus
Yes I'm going over Jordan
Just going, no more to roam
Only going over Jordan
Just a-going to my home

• Versions sung by others often have more verses and a slightly different chorus. Examples include:

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where all the saints their vigils keep

Chorus
I'm going there to meet my [father/mother/brother sister etc]
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I want to wear a crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land
I want to shout Salvation's story
In concert with that blood-washed band

Variant on chorus
I'm going there to see my Saviour
To sing His praise for evermore
I'm just-a going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I'll soon be free from earthly trials
This body rests in the orchard's yard
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And go singing home to God

This one is by DADAI - wayfaring stranger

I'm only going over home

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
A traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright world to which I go

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only a going over Jordan
I'm only a going over home

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep

I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only a going over Jordan
I'm only a going over home

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

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

I'm only a going over Jordan
I'm only a going over home
