Wayfaring Stranger

I am a Am poor way- E7 faring Am stranger

While travelling Dm through this world of E7 woe

There's no Am sick- E7 ness no toil or Am danger

In that bright Dm wo- E7 rld to which I Am go

I'm going F there G to meet my C father

I'm going F there G no more to C ro- E7 am

I’m only Am go- E7 ing over Am Jordan

I’m only Dm go- E7 ing over Am home (E7)

I know dark Am clouds will E7 gather a- Am round me

I know my Dm path is rough and E7 steep

But golden Am fields lie E7 there be- Am fore me

Where weary Dm eyes no E7 more shall Am weep

I'm going F there G to see my C mother

She said she'd F meet me G when I C come (E7)

I’m only Am go- E7 ing over Am Jordan

I’m only Dm go- E7 ing over Am home (E7)

I'll soon be Am free from E7 every Am trial

This form will Dm rest beneath the E7 sod

I'll drop the Am cross of E7 self de- Am nial,

And enter Dm in my E7 home with Am God.

I'm going F there to G see my C Saviour

Who shed for F me His G precious C blood E7

I’m only Am go- E7 ing over Am Jordan

I’m only Dm go- E7 ing over Am home (E7)

I'm going to Am wear the E7 crown of Am glory

When I get Dm home to that bright E7 land

I'm going to Am shout salvation's Am story

In concert Dm with that E7 bloodwashed Am band

I'm going F there G to meet my C Saviour

To sing His F praises G for ever C more E7

I’m only Am go- E7 ing over Am Jordan

I’m only Dm go- E7 ing over Am home (E7)
