Refrain Flowing by, flowing by, There’s a cleansing Jordan river flowing by; Flowing by, flowing by, Plunge beneath its healing waters, help is nigh. 2. Have you sought in vain for rest, Doubted whether God knows best? There’s a Jordan river flowing by; Naaman found God’s word was true; It will be the same with you, There’s a Jordan river flowing by. [Refrain] 3. Are you tempted to declare Other waters are more fair, There’s a Jordan river flowing by; He hath spoken, Wash, be clean, Hard upon His promise lean, There’s a Jordan river flowing by. [Refrain] 4. O, the Savior’s wounded side Crimsons all this river’s tide, There’s a Jordan river flowing by; He alone hath power to save, Trust Him for the cleansing wave, There’s a Jordan river flowing by.
