Wayfaring Stranger
Traditional

Am              Am
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
          Dm                    Am
Traveling through this world of woe
Am                          Am
But there's no sickness, no toil nor danger
        Dm             E       Am
In that bright land to which I go
 
    C          F          C
I'm going there to see my father
               F   C       Em7 E
I'm going there no more to roam
           Am
I'm just going over Jordan
           Dm    E   Am
I'm just going to my home
 
            Am
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
          Dm               Am
I know my way is rough and steep
Am                        Am
But beauteous fields lie just beyond me
            Dm             E     Am
Where God's redeemed their vigil keep
 
    C          F           C
I'm going there to meet my mother
               F       C      Em7 E
She said she'd meet me when I come
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm    E     Am
I'm only going to my home
 
             Am
I'll soon be free of earthly trials
        Dm               Am
My body laid beneath the sod
Am                      Am
I'll drop this cross of self denial
            Dm      E       Am
And I'll go singing home to God
 
    C          F           C
I'm going there to meet my Savior
              F       C     Em7 E
To dwell with him and never roam
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm    E     Am
I'm only going to my home
