Thread Name: Origins: Wayfaring Stranger
Subject: Lyr Add: I AM A POOR WAYFARING STRANGER
Here's the version done for "Cold Mountain"

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil or danger
In that fair land to which I go

I'm going home to see my mother
I'm going home, no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

I know dark clouds will hover o'er me,
I know my pathway is rough and steep
Beauteous fields lie right before me
Where weary eyes no more will weep

I'm going home to see my father
I'm going home, no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

I'll soon be free from every trial
This form will rest beneath the sun
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter in that home with God

I'm going home to see my Savior
I'm going home, no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

Very similar to the one posted above but I've seen others that deviate widely from these.
