Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a poor wayfaring stranger While traveling through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me

I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where God's redeem no more shall weep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
My body sleep in the old churchyard
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter in my great reward
I'm going, I'm going there to see my Saviour
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over...
home.
Over home

Over home
I'm just a-going over home

The lyrics are poetic in nature, and they explore the hope for a better life beyond earth's troubles. The singer sings about their journey towards a bright land where there is no sickness, toil or danger. They speak of their desire to see their father and mother who have passed on, and to be reunited with them in the afterlife.

While the singer acknowledges that their way is rough and steep, they remain steadfast in their faith that they will arrive at their destination.

Line by Line Meaning

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I am a traveler in this world without a permanent home

While traveling through this world of woe
While journeying through this troubled world

But there's no sickness, toil, or danger
But in the bright land I'm headed towards, there are no pains, struggles or threats

In that bright land to which I go
In that radiant place where my journey terminates

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going to see my father who has passed on before me

I'm going there no more to roam
I'm going there to stay, without wandering anymore

I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just traveling over the metaphorical river Jordan

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I expect difficulties and sorrows along my journey

I know my way is rough and steep
I know my path will be difficult and demanding

But golden fields lie out before me
But I know there are beautiful rewards waiting for me

Where God's redeem no more shall weep
Where no one will cry anymore because of God's redemption

I'm going there to see my mother
I'm traveling to that peaceful land to see my mother who has gone ahead of me

She said she'd meet me when I come
I know I will be reunited with my mother when I get there

I'll soon be free from earthly trials
I know that soon, I'll be free from all the troubles of this world

My body sleep in the old churchyard
My physical body will rest in the traditional burial ground

I'll drop the cross of self-denial
I'll finally put down my burdens of self-control and discipline

And enter in my great reward
And enjoy the wonderful recompense waiting for me

I'm going, I'm going there to see my Saviour
I'm certainly heading there to see my Lord and Redeemer

I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just making symbolic passage to the next life

I'm just a-going over home
I'm traveling to my perfect home above

Over home
To my eternal abode

Over home
To my lasting residence

I'm just a-going over home
I'm just traveling to my home in heaven

My dad died when I was 3. Mom raised seven of us all alone. I heard this first right after you released it and I have gone back to it over and over. Now I have four kids of my own and my mom has been dead for 5 years as well. Seems like I have a pretty friendly relationship with my own mortality and I think this song conveys it well.
Thank you so much for recording it.

@markforster6457

I'm sorry for your losses! Your Mom sounds like an amazing soul! I've just lost me Dad (I'm Irish), so I feel your pain. Blessings to you. I bid you peace.

This performance is a treasure. I've listened to it several times over the past few months and it never fails to blow me away.

I make it a policy not to comment on Youtube, but.... this is quite possibly the most beautiful piece of music I have ever listened to. Thank you, Peter, Swingle Singers. Hearing this for the first time changed how I think of music, and I still come back sometimes when I just want something real and beautiful and... breathtaking. Thank you.

Thumbs up to the super-soprano that sung the ridiculously high but in-the-background note at 3:23
Ho-dayyum.

@jacobbriggs6311

Soprano? Are you sure that wasn't falsetto? Beautiful music, nonetheless.

@merrickbaskie7941

What's falsetto I know Bass, Baritone, Tenor(Me), Alto and saprano but what's falsetto

@merrickbaskie7941

*soprano

@jacobbriggs6311

merrick baskie
It's like the highest possible range, I think.

@merrickbaskie7941

9y↑3

Falsetto is for either boy or girl it's when you song with out actually using your actual voice so basically singing with you throat instead of chest like how Frankie Valli hits those high notes

"I want to wear a crown of glory,
When I get home to that good land;
I want to shout salvation's story,
In concert with the blood-washed band.
I'm going there to see my Savior,
To sing His praise forever more;
I'm only going over Jordan,
I'm only going over home."

Just found this. Absolutely awesome. I knew it would be when I saw Peter Hollens with all his energy and creativity, and the Swingle Singers, whose exquisite harmonies first attracted me to voice groups as a child listening to Rags and all that Jazz. Absolutely wonderful, raises hairs on your neck.

This song is such a mix of emotions for me. The last thing I did with my girlfriend before she broke up with me out of the blue was show her this video, and that horrible night is in the back of my mind when I watch this video. The song is so sad too. However, this is the most beautiful a capella song I've ever heard so it brings me happiness too.

Peter you music is amazing. I was multi-tasking when I clicked on your video, but when the song started, I shut down everything to watch this. You are amazing and so is the group you worked with.

jesus christ. i favourited this video last week so I could watch it whenever i wanted. Since then, i have watched it at least 5 times a day. And even though i have watched it so many times, every time i watch it, my eyes still swell up and water. this is the first time a song has been able to do this to me and i am a huge appreciator of music as i am at college doing music. Genuine respect to you all for being able to create this beautiful version of a beautiful song. Thank you.

Life is precious and very fragile, please cherish every moment, and never miss an opportunity to say I love you.

I saw them last night. This is even more powerful live. One of them said that even for them the song is so emotional and powerful that they can tear up. All voices, not instruments on this. The drums and bass are done by voice and using the microphone.

@anderstw

11y↑11

Actually, it's both. Like nearly all a cappella music in the last several years, this song was tracked with each vocalist doing their part alone. The individual (doubled) tracks were then digitally edited - though very, very little, as the caliber of the vocalists meant they were pretty well spot on to start with - and then mixed together. We did, however, sing it live while recording the video... wish that audio recording had survived!!

@caitlinjones10

I used to sing a cappella but have not for a long time. Unfortunately my grandfather died recently. At his funeral I sang a rendition of this song very similar to this one, with the key change at the end. The Father overseeing the ceremony reminded me of what a gift my voice can be and how song is a universal language. I'm going to try out for my college's a cappella group next semester. Thanks for the inspiration.

This is the most incredible version of Poor Wayfaring Stranger I've ever heard. Through the years I’ve played Bass Guitar with some very talented musicians; but I’ve never heard such a perfect and beautiful blend of natural harmonics as I hear in this rendition.

@v6g1r8

Kudos to you for an absolutely THRILLING arrangement. And the modulation at 3:15 ALWAYS takes my breath away !

@spacegaukler3275

Breathtaking! Great job!

@operarocks

While I can enjoy this arrangement, I'll just go ahead and say it: Whoever mixed this album (Weather to Fly) ought to be shot at dawn. Congratulate him/her for me for Melodyne'ing every ounce of humanity out of most of the tracks. It's atrocious decision making on how much pitch correction was used in this album, and Ward (whom I knew and worked with a bit) would have had a cow. His philosophy was The Human Voix in differing settings. Human. Not robot.
Back away from the daw plugins please. Let the music breath and sound human again. Even if slightly imperfect. Real voices do not sound like this precise. If there is no imperfection there is no thrill, and this arrangement ends up being boring if you care about singing, not simply about a harmonic progression.

@connerforbis1466

THANK YOU!!! i'm going to purchase it and would love to get the sheet music if at all possible.

I couldn't stop listening to this, so I shared it with my friends, and now we're all hooked. The second verse especially speaks to me. I lost my mom about a month ago.

This is... so powerful... it wasn't until I listened to this for what must have been the fifth time that I realized this was talking about someone who /died/ and went to heaven. Some of my favorite lines are:
"I'm going there to meet my father... I'm just a- going over home... I'm going there, to see my mother! She said she'd meet me when I come..."
Honestly, when the full message of the song hit me, I broke down on the inside because it was that powerful. Thank you, everyone that pulled this together! It is a blessing to the world.

I sang this song for Solo & Ensemble when I was in high school. I wish we sounded half as good as this. Thank you for the nostalgia. :)
