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...
