Jordan Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Oh come and as you tread life's journey 

Take Jesus as your daily guide 

Though you may feel pure and saintly 

Without him walkin by your side 

But when you come to make the crossing 

At the ending of your pilgrim way 

If you ever will need our Savior 

You'll surely need him on that day 

(Now look at that) cold Jordan 

(Look at its) deep waters 

(Look at that) wide river 

Oh hear the mighty billows roll 

(You better take) Jesus with you 

(He's a) true companion 

(For I'm) sure without him 

That you never will make it o'er 

That awful day of judgment 

Is comin' in the by and by 

We'll see our Lord descending 

In Glory from on high 

Oh let us keep in touch with Jesus 

And in his precious love abide 

We may be ever caught ready 

When he calls us over Jordan's tide 

(Oh what) oh what you gonna do 

(Oh what) oh what you gonna say 

(Oh how) oh how you gonna feel 

When you come to the end of the way
