Wayfaring Stranger


Wayfaring Stranger, sometimes titled as I Am A Poor Wayfaring Stranger, is an American traditional spiritual song probably from the 18th century that’s in the public domain.
SONG LYRICS:
I am a poor wayfaring stranger, while traveling through this world of woe.
Yet there’s no sickness, no toil, no danger in that bright world to which I go.
I’m goin’ there to see my father. I’m going there no more to roam.
I’m only crossin’ over the Jordan. I’m just a passin’ over home.
I know dark clouds will gather ’round me. I know my is rough and steep.
But, beauteous fields lie just beyond me where God’s redeemed – their vigils keep.
I’m goin’ there to see my mother. She said she’d meet me when I come.
I’m only crossin’ over the Jordan. I’m just a passin’ over home.
I’m only crossin’ over the Jordan. I’m just a passin’ over home.
