Beyond the River’s Brink

No night be­yond the ri­ver’s brink!

No hun­ger

toil or pain!

And they who reach that peace­ful clime

Shall nev­er thirst again.

There Je­sus will say to the faith­ful ones

Welc­ome to me

Wel­come to me;

Rest thee

rest thee

Safe in thy Fa­ther’s home.

No tears be­yond the riv­er’s brink!

God wipes them all away!

His glory crowns the shin­ing hills

With ev­er­last­ing day.

No cross be­yond the riv­er’s brink!

But they who meek­ly bear

For Je­sus’ sake

the cross on earth

A crown of life shall wear.

O bliss be­yond the riv­er’s brink!

When

all our la­bor o’er

We clasp

with rap­ture and de­light

Our dear ones gone be­fore.
