’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. Refrain 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. Refrain 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. Refrain |
