LYRIC
Wayfaring Stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
And there’s no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I’m going there to see my father
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m going there just over Jordan
I’m going there to my new home
One of these mornings, and it won’t be long
All men will rise, stand side by side
Then hand in hand they’re bound for glory
Their foes will fall before freedom’s tide
I’m goin’ there to see my brother
I’m goin’ there no more to roam
I’m goin’ there just over Jordan
I’m goin’ there to my new home
I’m goin’ there to see my mother
I’m goin’ there no more to roam
I’m goin’ there just over Jordan
I’m goin’ there to my new home
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
