Jesus Will Carry Me Over the River

Verse 1

I know, at the river of death, My Savior will be at my side, His presence so near Will banish all fear, And He will the waters divine.

Chorus

Yes, Jesus will carry me over the river, Yes, Jesus will carry me o’er; He’ll carry me o’er to the glorified shore, Yes Jesus will carry me o’er.

Verse 2

I fear not to enter the flood, Tho’ wildly its billows may roll, With Jesus my guide, No ill can betide, For He will the tempest control.

Verse 3

I know when the river I cross That Jesus will carry me o’er; Upheld by His arm, I’ll suffer no harm, But safely I’ll reach the blest shore.

Verse 4

Oh, when to cross over the tide, To me the glad summons shall come, With Christ as my light, The way will be bright, And angels will welcome me home.
