Over the River (Baltzell)

Over the riv­er

the riv­er of time

Lies the bright land of a ver­dure sub­lime;

Valleys of beau­ty in splen­dor do shine

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful

beau­ti­ful home.

Over the riv­er

the beau­ti­ful riv­er

Over the riv­er

the fields are all green;

Over the riv­er

the beau­ti­ful riv­er

Over the riv­er

the fields are all green.

Over the riv­er

the pil­grims re­treat

Gorgeous in splen­dor

in beau­ty com­plete;

Angels are sing­ing in har­mo­ny sweet

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful

beau­ti­ful home.

Over the riv­er

our sor­rows will cease

Hushed by the songs of heav­en­ly peace;

When we get there what a hap­py re­lease

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful

beau­ti­ful home.

Over the river

the man­sions are there;

Oh how in­vit­ing! our loved ones are there;

Soon in those man­sions their sto­ry we’ll share

Beautiful

beau­ti­ful

beau­ti­ful home.
