No. 154 My Home Is Over Jordan, Rev 390
Pentachordal, cannot be classified (I II 3 IV V — —)
My home is over Jordan,
My home is over Jordan,
My home is over Jordan,
Where pleasures never die.
Where the wicked cease from troubling, etc.
And the weary are at rest.
Farewell to sin and sorrow, etc.
I bid you all adieu.
And you, my friends, prove faithful, etc.
And on your way pursue.
This spiritual tune has been widely used as a chorus to other songs. An example is ‘Wings of the Morning’ in this collection.
