Come as you tread life's journey Take jesus as your daily guide Though you may feel pure and safety Without him walking by your side But when you come to make your crossing At the ending of this pilgrim way If you ever will need your saviour You'll surely need him on that day Now look at that cold jordan Look at it's 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 judgement 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 the blessed love of god We may be ever call ready When we're crossing over jordan's tide Now look at that cold jordan Look at it's 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 Now look at that cold jordan Look at it's 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 Now what you gonna do Oh what you gonna say Oh how you gonna feel When you come to the end of the way
