There's a deep, silent river flowing just before

And its waters are deep and wide

But faith sees a light, yes, a beckoning light

Just down by the river side.



There's a light at the river, a light at the river

There's a light at the river I can see

My Lord will stand and hold in his hand

A light at the river for me.

To that deep, silent river we will one day come

And we'll cross over waters wide

But they'll carry us away to the rims of day

To our home on the other side.



There's a light at the river, a light at the river

There's a light at the river I can see

My Lord will stand and hold in his hand

A light at the river for me.



--- Instrumental ---



Many dear ones have gathered safe before the throne

Dipped their wings in the mystic tide

They have passed over deep where they do not weep

To their homes on the other side.



There's a light at the river, a light at the river

There's a light at the river I can see

My Lord will stand and hold in his hand

A light at the river for me...
