Beyond the Swelling Flood

lyricist: A. E. Childs, 1876
Composer: John Tenney

In robes made white thro’ Je­sus’ blood!

We soon shall meet be­yond the flood

And hold sweet con­verse

free from pain

Nor ev­er fear to part again

Beyond the swell­ing flood.

Beyond the swell­ing flood!

Beyond the swell­ing flood!

Beyond the swell­ing flood

We’ll meet to part no more!

We’ll meet to part no more

We’ll meet to part no more

We’ll meet to part no more

Beyond the swell­ing flood!

I care not now what ills may come:

By faith I see my heav’n­ly home

And hear the an­gel voic­es say

Thy God shall wipe all tears away

Beyond the swell­ing flood!

O meet­ing blest

with friends so dear!

What sounds shall greet the list­en­ing ear!

What thrills of rap­ture wake the soul

As back those gold­en gates shall roll

Beyond the swell­ing flood!

Dear Sav­ior

guide my will­ing feet

That I may have that joy com­plete;

And live to praise thro’ end­less day

The love that dries all tears away.

Beyond the swell­ing flood!
