ov­er Jor­dan

When my work is done and my crown is won,
Yes, we’ll rest our wea­ry feet,
Deep riv­er, Lord, I want to cross ov­er in­to camp­ground.
And the joy that will crown us there.
O it is a plea­sant place,
Come ov­er in­to Ca­naan land.
And when the bat­tle’s ov­er, we shall wear a crown
And this is like Heav­en to me.
With my bless­èd Je­sus,
And sigh­ing shall turn in­to song.
We will praise Him again
And the ran­somed in glo­ry we see,
And the ran­somed in glo­ry we see,
Where the loved ones are wait­ing for me.
We shall ga­ther, we shall ga­ther by and by.
I’m on­ly go­ing ov­er home.
