There's a deep, silent river flowing just before And its waters are deep and wide But faith sees a light, yes, a beckoning light Just down by the river side. There's a light at the river, a light at the river There's a light at the river I can see My Lord will stand and hold in his hand A light at the river for me. --- Instrumental --- To that deep, silent river we will one day come And we'll cross over waters wide But they'll carry us away to the rims of day To our home on the other side. There's a light at the river, a light at the river There's a light at the river I can see My Lord will stand and hold in his hand A light at the river for me. --- Instrumental --- Many dear ones have gathered safe before the throne Dipped their wings in the mystic tide They have passed over deep where they do not weep To their homes on the other side. There's a light at the river, a light at the river There's a light at the river I can see My Lord will stand and hold in his hand A light at the river for me...
