Our Home Beyond the River

lyricist: M. E. R. Satterlee, 1878
Composer: S. L. Tyler

Brightly shines the gold­en light

In our home be­yond the riv­er;

Never fails a shade of night

There the cloud­less day for­ev­er;

Sweetest mu­sic fills the air

In our home be­yond the riv­er;

Harps of gold are ring­ing there

Praises to the Lamb for­ev­er.

Would you en­ter? Je­sus stands

At the door with out­stretched hands.

Fairest flow’rs in con­stant bloom

In our home be­yond the riv­er

Fill the air with sweet per­fume

And their beau­ty fad­eth nev­er;

All is beau­ty

sweet­ness

joy

In our home be­yond the river;

Love and peace with­out al­loy

Thrills the heav’n­ly heart for­ev­er.
