I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger (From 1917) [A Cappella] Lyrics by Jos Slovick

I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger (From the Film 1917)

2020

[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm travellin' through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
[Chorus 1]
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep
[Chorus 2]
I'm going home to see my mother
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
[Verse 3]
I am a poor wayfarin' stranger
I'm travellin' through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
[Chorus 1]
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
