There's a happy, happy day a comin'
When I lay my heavy burdens down
I'll sing around the throne eternal
As the saints all march around
There'll be glory when I meet the Saviour
He's the one who died for me
When I cross to the other side of Jordan
Just beyond that crystal sea
When I cross to the other side of Jordan
Just beyond that happy shore
When I cross to the other side of Jordan
To live forevermore
There'll be glory in the morning
For the day there comes no night
When I cross to the other side of Jordan
Where Jesus is the light
I'll have so many loved ones
Who've made this trip I know
Oh, how I long to see them
As I journey here below!
To hear them tell of heaven
And the streets all paved with gold
When I cross to the other side of Jordan
Hear the half that's never been told
When I cross to the other side of Jordan
Just beyond that happy shore
When I cross to the other side of Jordan
To live forevermore
There'll be glory in the morning
For the day there comes no night
When I cross to the other side of Jordan
Where Jesus is the light
