I look’d over Jordan, and what did I see,
Coming for to carry me home!
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home!

If you get there before I do,
Coming for to carry me home!
Tell all my friends I’m coming too,
Coming for to carry me home!

The brightest day that ever I saw,
When Jesus washed my sins away.
I’m sometimes up and sometimes down,
But still my soul feels heavenly bound.
