| 1 Only just across the river, Over on the other side, Where the angels are in waiting, And the pure in heart abide; Where there is no pain or sorrow To intrude on heavenly rest, Only just across the river, Stand the mansions of the blest. Chorus: Only just across the river, Where the saints are passing over, Only just across the river, Over on the other side. 2 Only just across the river, Are the friends we love below, Clad and pure and spotless garments, That are whiter than the snow; They have brav'd cold Jordan's billows, And have pass'd thro' death's alarms, And are safe, forever safe Within the Saviour's loving arms. [Chorus] 3 Only just across the river, Where the hills of glory shine, There the pearly gates stand open Wide, that leads to joy divine; There the tree of life is blooming, And the living waters glide, Only just across the river, Over on the other side. [Chorus] 4 Only just across the river Are the robes of spotless white; Only just across the river Are the crowns of glory bright; And the saints and angels joining In the songs of one accord, Only just across the river, Sing the praises of the Lord. [Chorus] | The Little Seraph: in seven character notes, for churches and Sunday-schools #64 (1874) |
