With His dear and loving care,
Will the Saviour lead us on,
To the land we shall possess,
Over Jordan?
Yes, we’ll rest our weary feet
By the crystal waters, sweet,
When the peaceful shore we greet,
Over Jordan.

Through the rocky wilderness,
Will the Saviour lead us on,
To the land we shall possess,
Over Jordan?
Yes, by night the wondrous ray,
Cloudy pillar by the day,
They shall guide us on our way,
Over Jordan.

With His strong and mighty hand,
Will the Saviour lead us on,
To that good and pleasant land,
Over Jordan?
Yes, where vine and olive grow
And the brooks and fountains flow,
Thirst nor hunger shall we know,
Over Jordan.

In the Promised Land to be,
Will the Saviour lead us on,
Till fair Canaan’s shore we see,
Over Jordan?
Yes, to dwell with Thee, at last,
Guide and lead us, as Thou hast,
Till the parted wave be passed,
Over Jordan.

Chorus:
Over Jordan!
Over Jordan! Yes we’ll rest our weary feet,
By the crystal waters sweet,
Over Jordan, Over Jordan
When the peaceful shore we’ll greet,
Over Jordan.
