Beyond the River's Brink

Representative Text

1 No night be­yond the ri­ver’s brink!
No hun­ger, toil or pain!
And they who reach that peace­ful clime,
Shall nev­er thirst again.

Refrain:
There Je­sus will say to the faith­ful ones,
"Welc­ome" to me, "Wel­come" to me;
"Rest thee, rest thee,
Safe in thy Fa­ther’s home."

2 No tears be­yond the riv­er’s brink!
God wipes them all away!
His glory crowns the shin­ing hills
With ev­er­last­ing day. [Refrain]

3 No cross be­yond the riv­er’s brink!
But they who meek­ly bear,
For Je­sus’ sake, the cross on earth,
A crown of life shall wear. [Refrain]

4 O bliss be­yond the riv­er’s brink!
When, all our la­bor o’er,
We clasp, with rap­ture and de­light,
Our dear ones gone be­fore. [Refrain]
