Author: Miss M. P. Griffin Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.1 #36 (1887) First Line: We are waiting by the river Refrain First Line: Waiting, watching, waiting, watching Lyrics: 1 We are waiting by the river,
We are watching on the shore,
Only waiting for the boatman,
Soon he'll come to bear us o'er.
Refrain:
Waiting, watching, waiting, watching,
We are watching on the shore
Waiting, watching, waiting, watching
For the boatman who will bear us o’er.
2 Tho’ the mists hang o'er the river,
And its billows loudly roar,
Yet we hear the songs of angels,
Wafted from the other shore. [Refrain]
3 And the bright celestial city,
We have caught such radiant gleams
Of its towers, like dazzling sunlight,
With its sweet and peaceful streams. [Refrain]
4 He has called for many loved ones,
We have seen them leave our side;
With our Saviour we shall meet them
When we too have crossed the tide. [Refrain]
5 When we've passed the vale of shadows
With its dark and chilling tide,
In that bright and glorious city
We shall evermore abide. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are waiting by the river]

Hymnal: The Little Seraph #132a (1874) First Line: We are waiting by the river Refrain First Line: We are waiting by the river Lyrics: 1 We are waiting by the river,
We are watching on the shore,
Only waiting for the angel,
Soon he's come to bear us o'er.
Chorus:
We are waiting by the river,
We are watching on the shore,
Only waiting for the angel,
Soon he'll come to bear us o'er.
2 There is darkness o'er the river,
And its billows loudly roar,
Yet the music of the angels
Cheers us from the other shore. [Chorus]
3 And the city, bright with glory,
How its splendor charms the eye!
Though we view it from a distance,
We shall reach it by-and-bye. [Chorus]
4 He has taken many a loved one,
We have seen them leave our side,
With our Saviour we shall meet them,
When we cross the rolling tide. [Chorus]
5 Through the lonely vale of shadows,
When in triumph we have passed,
In the happy land of promise,
We shall meet our friends at last. [Chorus] Tune Title: [We are waiting by the river]
