Beside the Beautiful River

In the heav­en­ly clime

We shall meet some time

Beside the beau­ti­ful riv­er;

We shall find the joy

That has no al­loy

Beside the beau­ti­ful riv­er.

Beside the beau­ti­ful riv­er we’ll stray

In the glo­ri­ous light of eter­ni­ty’s day;

And with saved ones we’ll praise

Our Re­deem­er for aye

Beside the beau­ti­ful riv­er.

With the pure and blest

We shall sweet­ly rest

Beside the beau­ti­ful riv­er;

With all con­flicts o’er

Trials come no more

Beside the beau­ti­ful riv­er.

We shall learn the song

Of the blood-washed throng

Beside the beau­ti­ful riv­er;

While long ag­es roll

We shall Christ ex­tol

Beside the beau­ti­ful riv­er.
