Just Beyond Jordan Songtext
von Blind Joe Taggart

Just beyond the Jordan River
Down beside the crystal sea
As we stand, a home in Heaven
Will there be one for me?

Oh, when my work on Earth is ended
When I sleep beneath the sod
There my soul shall sing with the angels
′Round the blessed throne of God

Blessed Jesus, shall thy guide me
Over life oceans, dark and wide
Blessed Jesus, shall thy guide me
Safely to the other side

Oh, when my work on Earth is ended
And I sleep beneath the sod
There my soul shall sing with the angels
'Round the blessed throne of God


I have wandered with my Savior
While my Lord and King was nigh
Yes, he showed me a crown in Heaven
Will my crown fit me well?

Oh, when my work on Earth is ended
And I sleep beneath the sod
Where my soul shall sing with the angels
′Round the blessed throne of God

Blessed Jesus, shall thy guide me
Over life oceans, dark and wide
Blessed Jesus, shall thy guide me
Safely to the other side

Oh, when my work on Earth is ended
And I sleep beneath the sod
There my soul shall sing with the angels
'Round the blessed throne of God

Blessed Jesus, shall thy guide me
Safely to the other shore
Blessed Jesus, shall thy guide me
Over my oceans, dark and wide

Oh, when my soul should rest and I'll then
Just beyond the side of Jordan
