Over the River

Verse 1

Over the river! oh, what is there? Over the river, the river? Hearts ever happy and souls ever fair, Basking in glory for ever.

Chorus

Over the river, the river wide, Over the beautiful river, Angels and blessed immortals abide, Sinless and happy for ever.

Verse 2

Over the river! oh, who is there-- Over the river, the river? Friends who have gone from our earth-life to share, Life from the Bountiful Giver.

Verse 3

Over the river! oh, wonderful land, Over the river, the river? Happy and holy each radiant band, May we be with them forever.
