Excursus II: Wayfaring Stranger
I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woes
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to meet my mother
She said she'd greet me when I come
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is black and deep
But beauteous stars lie just before me
Where gods redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to flee my father
I'm going there unborn to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
This body rests in the empty forge
I'll drop this code of self-denial
And go singing home to God
I'm going there to see my savior
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin over home
Traveling through this world of woes
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to meet my mother
She said she'd greet me when I come
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is black and deep
But beauteous stars lie just before me
Where gods redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to flee my father
I'm going there unborn to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
This body rests in the empty forge
I'll drop this code of self-denial
And go singing home to God
I'm going there to see my savior
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin over home
