‘Deep river’ / Henry Thacker ‘Harry’ Burleigh (1866–1949), 1917, dedicated to Miss Mary Jordan
Deep river, my home is over Jordan. Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
Oh, chillun… Oh, don’t you want to go to that gospel feast, That promised land, that land where all is peace? Walk into heaven, and take a seat, And cast my crown at Jesus feet.
Deep river, my home is over Jordan. Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
Barbara Hendricks (b.1948) — ‘Deep river’ / Henry Thacker ‘Harry’ Burleigh (1866–1949), 1917, dedicated to Miss Mary Jordan.
