I have the scans from the book filed as ALMANAC1886, for reference. As previously indicated, there's no "source data" or even a publisher ID found in the old book.

OVER JORDAN.

With His dear and loving care,
Will the Savious lead us on,
To the hills and valleys fair
Over Jordan?
Yes, we'll rest our weary feet
By the crystal waters sweet,
When the peaceful shore we greet
Over Jordan.

CHO.—Over Jordan? Over Jordan!
Yes, we'll rest our weary feet
By the crystal waters sweet,
Over Jordan, over Jordan;
When the peaceful shores we'll greet
Over Jordan.

Through the rocky wilderness,
Will the Saviour lead us on
To the land we shall possess
Over Jordan?
Yes, by night the wondrous ray,
Cloudy pillar by the day
They shall guide us on the way
Over Jordcn.

With His strong and mighty hand.
Will the Savior lead us on,
To that good and pleasant land
Over Jordan?
Yes, where vine and olive grow,
And the brooks and fountains flow,
Thirst nor hunger shalt we know
Over Jordan.

In the Promised Land to be,
Will the Saviour lead us on,
Till fair Canaan's shore we see
Over Jordan?
Yest to dwell with Thee, at last,
Guide and lead us, as Thou hast,
Till (t)he parted wave be passed
Over Jordan.

John
