No River Here

Author: Mrs. Hattie Bradford Spoor Hymnal: The Ark of Praise #90 (1882) First Line: We’re told of a river, a dark rolling tide Refrain First Line: I am floating in light to the pearly gates near Lyrics: 1 We’re told of a river, a dark rolling tide, Its waves dashing high, the stream deep and wide, Which all must cross over when life’s work is done, As down to its borders we come one by one. Refrain: I am floating in light to the pearly gates near, And, glory to God! no river is here; I am floating in light to the pearly gates near, And, glory to God! no river is here. 2 No river is here! Are my eyes growing dim? No, clear is my vision; I’m trusting in Him Whose glory so crowneth the close of life’s day That the dark rolling tide has all passed away. [Refrain] 3 More distant has seemed my heavenly home When told of the “river” to which we must come, The dark, chilly waves we must cross safely o’er Ere joining the loved ones who’ve gone on before. [Refrain] 4 Earth borders on heaven; there is no dark tide To those who in Jesus most fully confide; Transported by angels, in rapture divine, With shouts of salvation we pass o’er the line. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We're told of a river]
