Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #166 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1.

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #806 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Sweet rivers of redeeming love I see before me lie; Had I the pinions of a dove, I'd to those rivers fly. 2 I'd rise superior to my pain, With joy outstrip the wind; I'd cross bold Jordan's stormy main, And leave the world behind. 3 A few more days, or years at most, My troubles will be o'er; I hope to join the heavenly host On Canaan's happy shore. 4 My rapturous soul shall drink and feast In love's unbounded sea: The glorious hope of endless rest Is ravishing to me. 5 O, come, my Saviour, come away, And bear me to the sky! Nor let thy chariot wheels delay; Make haste and bring it nigh. 6 I long to see thy glorious face, And in thine image shine; To triumph in victorious grace, And be forever thine.

Sweet rivers of redeeming love

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #946 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Sweet rivers of redeeming love Lie just before mine eye, Had I the pinions of a dove, I'd to those rivers fly-- I'd rise superior to my pain, With joy outstrip the wind; Would cross cold Jordan's stormy main, And leave the world behind. 2 I view the monster death, and smile, Now he has lost his sting; Though Satan rages all the while, I still in triumph sing; By faith I see the radiant throne, The crown of life for me, By faith I claim it as my own, And wait my Lord to see. 3 In a few toilsome years, at most, My sorrows will be o'er; Then shall I join the heavenly host On Canaan's happy shore, My raptured soul with joy shall drink Of love's unbounded sea, And only live to speak and think Of him who died for me.
