When I come to the river at the 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 flon 

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 ] 

Though the billows of trouble and sorrow may sweep 

Christ the Saviour will care for his own 

Till the end of my journey my soul he will keep and I won't have to cross Jordan alone 

I won't have to cross Jordan...
