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.
