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.

Often times I'm forsaken and weary and sad
When it seems that my friends have all gone
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 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...
