1 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.

2 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]

3 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]

4 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]
