| lyric | Shine along, Shine along, My home is over Jordan;
Shine along, O my good Lord; I love the dying Lamb.
1. This is the way I long have sought;
My home ist over Jordan
And mourned because I found it not!
I love the dying Lamb.
2. Children, my grief my burden, Long has been;
My home ist over Jordan
Because I could not cease from sin.
I love the dying Lamb.
3. Till late I heard my Saviour say
My home ist over Jordan
„Come hither soul, I am the way“
I love the dying Lamb.
4. I heard of Jesus, - many could tell, -
My home is over Jordan
„I saved you from that dismal hell,“
I love the dying Lamb.
5. I went to Jesus on my knees,
My home is over Jordan,
And soon I felt that heav’nly breeze
I love the dying Lamb. |
