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
