English text

I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
While journeying through,
This world of woe,
Yeah, and there's no sickness, toil nor danger,
In that bright land,
To which I go.

I'm going there to see my (father-mother),
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only going over Jordan,
I'm only going over home.
