Jordan Passed
Death over. Jordan is the Styx of Christian mythology, because
it was the river which separated the wilderness [of this world] from
the promised land.
If I still hold closely to Him,
What hath He at last?
Sorrow vanquished, labour ended,
Jordan passed.
John Mason Neale, D.D. (Stephen the Sabaite.)
