At the riv­er that di­vides me
Because my Lord hath said to me—
But hun­ger, shame, and fear;
On His pro­mise sweet and true,
It is wait­ing there for me!
I come, no more to roam;
Like a way­ward child I wan­dered
And ev­er­last­ing trea­sures win;
“I starve in fo­reign lands;

My Fa­ther’s house

And my Lord has gone to pre­pare
I am wait­ing, I am watch­ing,
I have pre­pared a place for thee.
While I am starv­ing here.
I’ll pre­pare a place for you.
Where the white-robed stand;
To my eter­nal home.
But I hear His voice en­treat­ing,
And thou shalt share His home with Me,
And boun­te­ous are his hands.
