I'LL GO OVER JORDAN SOMEDAY

                   I

JUST BEYOND THE RIVER, IN THE SWEET FOREVER,
IS A HAPPY LAND OF BRIGHT SUNSHINE.
SORROWS NEVER MORE WILL COME, JOYBELLS EVER CHIME.
SOME HAPPY GLAD TOMORROW, FREE FROM SIN AND SORROW
I WILL LEAVE THIS SINFUL WORLD BEHIND
I'LL CROSS THE GREAT DIVINE TO THAT HOME OF MINE.

                    II

I AM FINDING PLEASURE GIVEN WITHOUT MEASURE,
AS I'M WALKING BY THE MASTER'S SIDE.
HE KEEPS ME SO GLAD AND FREE, AS I JOURNEY ON.
SO I WILL KEEP ON SINGING, EVER TO HIM CLINGING.
TILL I CROSS BEYOND, THE ROLLING TIDE.
TO THAT CITY BUILT BY LOVE, WHERE THE SAINTS HAVE GONE.

               CHORUS

I'LL GO ------ OVER JORDAN SOME DAY,
    I SHALL GO

SEEMS I HEAR THEM CALLING TONES OF LOVE ARE FALLING.

FROM THE LAND BEYOND THE TIDE WHERE MY LOVED ONES WAIT

I'LL WALK ------ EVER IN THE BRIGHT WAY
    I SHALL WALK

SINCE THE LIGHT IS SHINING I HAVE CEASED REPINING,

ALL MY SINFUL DAYS ARE GONE, SOON I'LL REACH THE GATE.
