I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger

A beautiful rendition sung by Karen Ellis:

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Just traveling through this world of woe

But there’s no sickness, 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 only going, going o’er Jordan

I am just a-going to my home

I know dark clouds will gather ’round me

I know my way is rough and steep

Yet beauteous fields lay just before me

Where the redeemed, no more shall weep

So I will wear my crown of glory

When I get home to that good land

And I will sing redemption’s story

In concert with the blood-washed band

I’m going there to see my Savior

I’m going there to praise my Lord

I’m going, going o’ver Jordan

I’m only going to my home
