Ust beyond the Jordan River
There beside the crystal sea
There's a city built of mansions
Will there be one for me?
When my work on Earth is ended
And I sleep beneath the sod
Will my soul sing with the angels
'Round the blessed throne of God?
Blessed, gentle Jesus, guide me
O'er life's ocean, dark and wide
Blessed gentle Jesus, guide me
Safely to the other side
A-when my work on Earth is ended
And I sleep beneath the sod
Will my soul sing with the angels
'Round the blessed throne of God
Oft times I see the tempest raging
Then with strength I'll pull the oar
Jesus is the lighthouse keeper
He will guide me to the shore
Soon I'll anchor in the harbor
Nevermore to drift away
There to meet with all my loved ones
There to spend eternity
Blessed gentle -sus, guide me
Over life's oceans dark and
Blessed, gentle Jesus, guide me
Safely to the other side
When my work on Earth is ended
And I sleep beneath the sod
Will my soul sing with the angels
'Round the blessed throne of G
