Beyond

Author: Leigh Mitchell Hodges Hymnal: Alexander's Gospel Songs #101 (1908) First Line: I have a Home beyond the silent river Refrain First Line: I have a Home, a Home beyond the river Lyrics: 1 I have a Home beyond the silent river, Where loved ones wait to welcome me some day; I have a Guide to lead me safely over, When I have reached the ending of earth's way. Refrain: I have a Home, a Home beyond the river, I have a resting place all love and peace; I have a Home, a Home beyond the river, Blest Home beyond, where toil and tears shall cease. 2 I have a Friend who e'er awaits my coming, He stands with arms outstretched to fold me in; And spite my woes and weariness of raoming, He'll greet me with the love that bore my sin. [Refrain] 3 With Home and Friend beyond the silent river, How fair will be the day that knows no night! How sweet will be the songs I sing forever, Eternally in God's all-gracious sight. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I have a Home beyond the silent river]
