Rest Over Jordan

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1877
Composer: Howard Doane

’Tis a bless­èd 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.

Over Jor­dan

ov­er Jor­dan

I shall rest

Sweetly rest by and by;

’Tis a pre­cious hope

’tis a bless­èd hope

I shall rest

sweet­ly rest ov­er Jor­dan.

’Tis a bless­èd 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.

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.
