When Israel through the wilderness
had passed at God’s command,
From Jordans banks, their wishful eyes,
Beheld the promised land.
But still a river lay between,
Whose waters overflowed;
And through the deeps they needs must go,
The only way allowed.
Death is the Jordan we must pass;
Lord, this divides from thee!
But if thine ark move on before,
Safe will the passage be.
