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
