Wayfaring Stranger
Cm
I’m a poor wayfaring stranger
Fm Cm
While traveling thru this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, or danger
Fm Cm
In that bright world to which I go
Ab Eb
I’m going there to see my Father
Ab Cm G7
I’m going there no more to roam
Cm
I’m only going over Jordan
Fm Cm
I’m only going over home
SOLO
Cm
I know dark clouds will hang ‘round me,
Fm Cm
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Fm Cm
Where God’s redeemed their virgils keep
Ab Eb
I’m going there to see my mother
Ab Cm G7
She said she’d meet me when I come
Cm
I'm only going over Jordan
Fm Cm
I'm only going over home
SOLO
