Rest over Jordan

 

 

VERSE 1

’Tis a blessed hope, and it cheers my soul,

I shall rest by and by over Jordan;

When my work is done and my crown is won,

I shall rest, sweetly rest over Jordan.

 

Reff

Over Jordan, over Jordan, I shall rest

Sweetly rest by and by;

’Tis a precious hope, ’tis a blessed hope,

I shall rest, sweetly rest over Jordan.

 

VERSE 2

’Tis a blessed hope which my Savior gives,

I shall rest by and by over Jordan;

I shall see Him there in His mansion fair,

When I rest, sweetly rest over Jordan.

 

VERSE 3

With a steadfast faith I will labor on,

I shall rest, sweetly rest over Jordan;

O what joy ’twill be the redeemed to see,

When I rest, sweetly rest, over Jordan.
