Deep River

Composer: African-American spiritual

Deep riv­er

my home is ov­er Jor­dan

Deep riv­er

Lord

I want to cross ov­er in­to camp­ground.

Oh

don’t you want to go to that gos­pel feast

That pro­mised land where all is peace?

Oh don’t you want to go to that pro­mised land

That land where all is peace?

Deep riv­er

my home is ov­er Jor­dan

Deep riv­er

Lord

I want to cross ov­er in­to camp­ground.
