No. 81. Oh, Wasn't That a Wide River

Chorus:
Oh, wasn't that a wide river,
river of Jordan, Lord? wide river!
There's one more river to cross.

1
Oh, the river of Jordan is so wide,
One more river to cross;
I don't know how to get on the other side;
One more river to cross.
2
I have some friends before me gone,
One more river to cross;
By the grace of God I'll follow on;
One more river to cross.
3
- - Shout, shout, Satan's about,
One more river to cross;
- - Shut your door and keep him out;
One more river to cross.
4
Old Satan is a snake in the grass,
One more river to cross;
If you don't mind he'll get you at last;
One more river to cross.
