Over Jordan (Graham)

Composer: Frank Graham, ca. 1904

O come and go with me

If from sin you would be free;

You will find it good for thee

Over Jor­dan.

’Tis a land of corn and wine

And there’s fruit of ev­ery kind;

You will find it is sub­lime

Over Jor­dan.

Over Jor­dan

ov­er Jor­dan

O it is a plea­sant place

For I have the se­cond grace.

Over Jor­dan’s roll­ing sand

Into hap­py Beu­lah land

’Tis a plea­sant place to live

Over Jor­dan.

Many will not en­ter in

For they want to cling to sin

And their jour­ney won’t begin

Over Jor­dan.

And they see the gi­ants there

For their vi­sion is not clear

And they will not go for fear

Over Jordan.

Our lead­er is the Lord

And we have His pre­cious Word;

We will use it for our sword

Over Jor­dan.

So you need not ev­er fear

For He’s pro­mised to be near

And you’ll find Him ve­ry dear

Over Jor­dan.

Now won’t you come and go

While He’s plead­ing with you so

Where the milk and ho­ney flow

Over Jor­dan.

If you’ll get the se­cond grace

You’ll be talk­ing face to face

While you’re run­ning in the race

Over Jor­dan.
