Over the River, I'm Going

Hymnal: Calvary Songs #152 (1875) Refrain First Line: The angels there will welcome me Lyrics: 1 Over the river I'm going, Beyond where the pearly gates stand; Over the cold icy billows, To live in a fair sunny land; My Father has built me a mansion, More precious than silver and gold; Yes, over the river I'm going, To where there are pleasures untold. Refrain: The angels there will welcome me With harps and crowns of gold; Yes! over the river I'm going, To where there are pleasures untold. 2 Over the river I'm going, To meet, in the land of the blest, Loved ones, who long have been waiting, To welcome me home to my rest; The world with its pleasures no longer My spirit in bondage can hold, For over the river I'm going, To where there are pleasures untold. [Refrain] 3 Over the river I'm going, Oh, seek not to draw me aside; See! the bright angels are waiting To carry me over the tide; My Saviour is there to receive me, And shield me from suffering and cold, Yes, over the river I'm going, To where there are pleasures untold. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Over the river, I'm going]
