Thread Name: Origins: I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: wayfaring stranger
These are the lyrics I remember:

I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
A-wandering through this world of woe.
There is no sickness, no toil or danger,
In that bright world to which I go.
I'm going there to meet my Savior,
I'm going there to see my Lord.
I'm only going over Jordan,
I'm only going over home.

I know my sins are all forgiven,
My hopes are stayed on things above.
I'm going home to you, bright heaven,
Where all is joy and peace and love.
I'm going there to meet my Savior,
I'm going there to see my Lord.
I'm only going over Jordan,
I'm only going over home.
