1 Over the river
Hangs a cloud so dark and drear,
Till Jesus comforts,
Till his voice we hear;
Then his smile, illuming,
Floods the waves with golden light,
Then a path of glory
Opens to the sight.

Refrain:
Over the river,
Savior, close beside us stand;
Over the river,
To the heavenly land.

2 Over the river
Loved ones pass from day to day,
To realms immortal
Bear our hearts away;
O the sweet reunions,
Just beyond the silent tide!
O the songs of welcome,
On the other side! [Refrain]

3 Over the river
Blissful chords of music float,
Over the river
Sounds the harp’s glad note;
There, at home with Jesus,
Endless ages of delight;
There the shining mansions,
Robes of radiant white. [Refrain]
