| 1 The waves of death's river are dark and cold, But Jesus Himself has pass'd thro'; The Savior in mercy thy hand will hold: His promise is faithful and true. Chorus: Oh, the waters of Jordan may roll, But Jesus will carry me through; His peace is now filling my soul, Oh, that it were given to you! 2 On this side the river is war and strife 'Gainst sin by God's faithful few, Yet trembling sinners are ent'ring life, The pow'r that will carry them thro'. [Chorus] 3 On this side the river a heav'nly peace Is offered to you and to me; From doubting and sin there is sweet release, Till crossing with Jesus to be. [Chorus] 4 As we ford the river in sight of the land, Our loved ones will welcome us o'er; We'll clasp their hands on the shining strand, And sing on the golden shore. [Chorus] | Crowning Glory No. 2: a collection of gospel hymns #37 (1890) |
