Sing aloud a joyful chorus! Come with rejoicing, Praising him who guided His people of old: For the God who led the fathers, Lives for ever, and in tender mercy does the children behold. Through the Jordan, through the Jordan, We will go when He gives us the word, In the Jordan, in the Jordan, We are safe with the Ark of the Lord. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; They will not overflow you nor give you alarm; Lo! the Holy One of Israel, Mighty to save you, Guarding still the loved ones who will lean on his arm. Through the Jordan, through the Jordan, We will go when He gives us the word, In the Jordan, in the Jordan, We are safe with the Ark of the Lord. Through the flames, if Jesus calls us, We'll go with singing, Wheresoever He leads we fear not to stand. Trusting in the blessed promise. "I'm with you always, Till you reach the mansions of the fair promised land." Through the Jordan, through the Jordan, We will go when He gives us the word, In the Jordan, in the Jordan, We are safe with the Ark of the Lord.
