A Light at the River

Author: D. K. W. Hymnal: Songs of Praise and Salvation #23 (1902) First Line: There’s a deep, silent river flowing just before Refrain First Line: There’s a light at the river, a light at the river Lyrics: 1 There’s a deep, silent river flowing just before, And it’s waters are dark and wide; But faith sees a light, yes, a beacon light, Just down the river side. Refrain: There’s a light at the river, a light at the river, A light at the river I can see; My Lord will stand and hold in his hand A light at the river for me. 2 O’er its dark, foaming waters from the unseen shore, Angel bands in their beauty glide; And they bear us away to the realms of day, To the light on the other side. [Refrain] 3 Many dear ones now gathered safe before the throne, Dipp’d their wings in the mystic tide, Passed over the deep, where they do not weep, Into life on the other side. [Refrain] 4 To the deep, silent river we must one day come, And pass o’er its waters wide; But happy we’ll be if by faith we see A light at the river side. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There’s a deep, silent river flowing just before]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[There’s a deep, silent river flowing just before]" in Songs of Praise and Salvation William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
