| ’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 restSweetly 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.
