Here's the Paul Williams version. And if you haven't been to see him at a gospel or bluegrass concert, drop everything and go! He and his Victory Trio are the best.
The Other Side of Jordan
(Paul Williams and the Victory Trio)
Instrumental lead-in
I was standing by the bedside of a dear old saint of God
Who so soon would pass to cross old Jordan's tide
When she called me to her bedside and she whispered soft and low
Will you make me just one promise my dear child?
Will you meet me on the other side of Jordan?
Where I know we'll live with Jesus on that shore
Will you meet me on the other side of Jordan?
Once we're gathered there we'll never part no more
Instrumental
Oh so swiftly friends and loved ones pass away from this domain
God has called us home to live eternally
Better make your preparation for the journey to that land
There's no way to know who will the next one be
Will you meet me on the other side of Jordan
Where I know we'll live with Jesus on that shore
Will you meet me on the other side of Jordan
Once we're gathered there we'll never part no more
Once we're gathered there we'll never part no more
