115. Deep River

Deep, deep river, my home is over Jordan --
Deep, deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
Deep, deep river, my home is over Jordan --
Deep, deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
O don't you want to go to that gospel feast.
That promis'd land where all is peace?
Oh!
Deep, deep river, my home is over Jordan --
Deep, deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
Deep, deep river, my home is over Jordan --
Deep, deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
