Rest over Jordan

’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.
