I
THERE'S A RIVER SOMEWHERE THAT'S CALLED JORDAN
AND THEY SAY THAT IT'S DEEP AND IT'S WIDE
AND THEY SAY THAT THE KING AND THE BEGGAR
ON THAT SHORE WILL STAND SIDE BY SIDE.
CHORUS
AT THE CROSSING ... OF THE JORDAN...
WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID
THERE'LL BE SOMEONE THERE WHO LOVES ME.
TO GUIDE ME ... CROSS THE RIVER ...
TO ENDLESS JOYS ABOVE.
II
THO THE RIVER IS DARK AND IT'S STORMY
IT WILL PASS LIKE A DREAM IN THE NIGHT.
AND MY SOUL SHALL AWAKE IN THE MORNING
IN REGIONS OF ENDLESS DELIGHT.
