Song lyrics

I’m a poor wayfaring stranger,
Traveling through this world of woe
And there’s no sickness, toil nor 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 am just going o’er Jordan,
I am just going o’er home.

I know dark clouds will gather o’er me,
I know my way is rough and steep,
But golden fields lie before me
Where the redeemed shall ever sleep.

I’m going home to see my mother
She said she’d meet me when I come.
I’m only going over Jordan,
I’m only going over home.

Russian lyrics provided by Zarina Kozlov

Я просто бедный нищий странник
Иду по жизни тьма вокруг,
Но нет скорбей и нет страданья
В родной земле куда иду.

Иду домой увидеть маму,
Она сказала будет ждать,
Я просто бедный нищий странник
Иду домой, чтоб отдыхать.

Хоть тучи надо мной сгустились
И полон путь суровых бед,
Я вижу нивы золотые
В земле, где горя больше нет.

Amen !!! <><

Psalm 135

1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord;
give praise, O servants of the Lord,
2 you that stand in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
sing to his name, for he is gracious.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his own possession.

5 For I know that the Lord is great;
our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatever the Lord pleases he does,
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all deeps.
7 He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth;
he makes lightnings for the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

8 He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
both human beings and animals;
9 he sent signs and wonders
into your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 He struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings—
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and Og, king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12 and gave their land as a heritage,
a heritage to his people Israel.

13 Your name, O Lord, endures for ever,
your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages.
14 For the Lord will vindicate his people,
and have compassion on his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
16 They have mouths, but they do not speak;
they have eyes, but they do not see;
17 they have ears, but they do not hear,
and there is no breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them
and all who trust them
shall become like them.

19 O house of Israel, bless the Lord!
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord!
20 O house of Levi, bless the Lord!
You that fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
21 Blessed be the Lord from Zion,
he who resides in Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!
