The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#491

491. Deep River

Deep river, my home is over Jordan,
Deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
O don't you want to go to that gospel feast,
That promised land where all is peace,
O don't you want to go to that promised land,
that land where all is peace?
Deep river, my home is over Jordan,
Deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
