Notes: The famous spiritual in a short and straight forward arrangement for two-part voices, including an evocative role for the piano. A good piece for children's and women's choirs, or two-part mixed voices.

Deep River,
My home is over Jordan.
Deep River, Lord.
I want to cross over into campground.


Oh, don't You want to go,
To the Gospel feast;
That Promised Land,
Where all is peace?

Oh, Deep River, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.

Performed by: Cantare Children's Choir, Catherine Glaser-Climie, conductor
