112. Over the River I'm Going

1 Just over the river I’m going,
The angels are watching for me;
In the bright, starry portals of heaven,
The faces of loved ones I’ll see.

Chorus:
Just over the river,
I’ll fear not its roar;
There’s light on the water,
For Jesus has crossed it before.

2 No more in this desert I’ll wander,
Or tread life’s dim pathway alone;
I shall rest where earth’s weary ones gather,
And Jesus embraces His own. [Chorus]

3 I’ll clasp the dear hand of my Savior,
He’ll guide me safe over its foam;
And I’ll fear not the swelling of Jordan,
For bright shines my heavenly home. [Chorus]

4 I’ll strike the pure notes of the blessed,
And crown my Immanuel King;
In His presence, forever and ever,
His glory and honor I’ll sing. [Chorus]

5 The Lamb, ‘mid His chose, His treasure,
In pastures where love never dies;
He will lead them to fountains of pleasure,
And wipe all the tears from their eyes. [Chorus]
