Poor Wayfaring Stranger
(The Pilgrim’s Song)
trad., arr. Gustavson and Schonberg
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
Traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home
I know dark clouds will hang around me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home.
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my Savior
Going there no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home.
