Sister Hattie used to tell me 'bout the land beyond the blue
Where the tears all dry forever and the sorrow's bid adieu
She would sing it on the porch swing while the sun was sinking low
I'll be waiting for you yonder, where the milk and honey flow
Now her voice is gently fading, but her promise still rings true
I will meet her in that morning, I'll be coming to her too
On the other side of Jordan, where the saints are gathered round
On the other side of Jordan, holy mercy I have found
There the angels sing forever, there my Father wipes my tears
On the other side of Jordan, gone are all my earthly fears
Sister Hattie's voice still echoes through the years that come and go
Trust the Savior, child, He'll lead you, He will never let you go
Now I'm older than she ever lived to see on this old ground
But her gospel keeps on guiding, oh, her love is all around
Soon I'll join that holy gathering, soon I'll see her face again
Soon the river will be parting, soon I'll lay down all my pain
On the other side of Jordan, where the saints are gathered round
On the other side of Jordan, holy mercy I have found
There the angels sing forever, there my Father wipes my tears
On the other side of Jordan, gone are all my earthly fears
Oh, I'll see her, oh, I'll see her, on that bright and shining day
Oh, I'll see her, oh, I'll see her, when my Jesus calls my name
Singing, dancing in the glory, hand in hand we'll lift His praise
On the other side of Jordan, through eternal endless days
