Representative Text

1 O when shall we meet at the river,
The lov’d ones awaiting us there?
O when shall we rest in the sunshine
That falls on its wavelets so fair?

Chorus:
O beautiful, beautiful river
Whose shores by the ransom’d are trod;
The River of Life, that forever
Flows on from the throne of God.

2 O when shall we meet at the river,
Away from all sorrow and fear,
Where Jesus, our blessed Redeemer,
Shall wipe from our eyes every tear? [Chorus]

3 O when shall we meet at the river,
And join in the anthem that rolls;
Where long broken ties are united,
And love is the feast of the soul? [Chorus]
