Now the Saviour invites you to come, And fly to the arms of His love; In His kingdom of grace there is room, And a mansion of glory above.

Chorus

Over Jordan a home bright and fair, Our Saviour has gone to prepare; We shall rest by and by from our care, In that home bright and fair, bright and fair.

Are you thirsty? remember the call: O come, and salvation receive; For the fountain is open to all Who will truly repent and believe.

Chorus

Over Jordan a home bright and fair, Our Saviour has gone to prepare; We shall rest by and by from our care, In that home bright and fair, bright and fair.

Are you weary, and sighing for rest? To Jesus your refuge repair; He will pillow your head on His breast, If you seek him by watching and prayer.

Over Jordan a home bright and fair, Our Saviour has gone to prepare; We shall rest by and by from our care, In that home bright and fair, bright and fair.

Verse 4

To the faithful a promise is given, Who meekly His counsel obey, Of a crown of rejoicing in heav’n, And a treasure that fades not away.

Over Jordan a home bright and fair, Our Saviour has gone to prepare; We shall rest by and by from our care, In that home bright and fair, bright and fair.
