When I come to the river
At ending of day
When the last winds of sorrow have blown
There'll be somebody waiting
To show me the way
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
[ piano ]
Often times I'm weary and troubled and sad
When it seems that my friends have all flown
There is one thought that cheers me and makes my heart glad
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan...
[ guitar ]
When the billows of sorrow and trouble may sweep
Christ the Saviour will care for his own
Till the end of my journey
my soul he will keep
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died
all my sins to atone
At ending of day
When the last winds of sorrow have blown
There'll be somebody waiting
To show me the way
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
[ piano ]
Often times I'm weary and troubled and sad
When it seems that my friends have all flown
There is one thought that cheers me and makes my heart glad
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan...
[ guitar ]
When the billows of sorrow and trouble may sweep
Christ the Saviour will care for his own
Till the end of my journey
my soul he will keep
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died
all my sins to atone
