The Jordan is rolling betwixt me and home;
I stand on the margin,
The summons has come.
My Joshua leads me
Through death’s darkest wave;
His hand is unerring, and mighty to save.

Refrain

Mighty to save, mighty to save;
The Lord is my leader, and mighty to save.

The world is behind me, life’s trials are o’er;
Lo! Heav’n is appearing,
I see the blest shore.
Bright angels are beaming
Their welcome to me;
And God, my Re­deem­er, benignant I see.

Refrain

Now in the dread moment my sins I confess;
My only foundation
Is His right­eous­ness,
Who purchased sal­va­tion
For me by His death,
And gives me assurance through penitent faith.

Refrain

O Sav­ior! be near me, keep hold of my hand:
The waters, though surging,
Will own Thy command.
My fears have all vanished,
Death’s terrors have gone;
I walk through the river, and up to the throne.

Refrain
