There’ll Be No Dark River There

lyricist: E. C. Macartney, 1897
Composer: Henry Gilmour

When we have come to Jor­dan’s tide

There’ll be no dark riv­er there;

With Je­sus stand­ing close be­side

There’ll be no dark riv­er there.

His bound­less grace shall light the place

With beams of glo­ry fair

And in the sun­shine from His face

There’ll be no dark riv­er there.

There’ll be no dark riv­er there

There’ll be no dark riv­er there;

Upon His breast we’ll sweet­ly rest

There’ll be no dark riv­er there.

With an­gels bend­ing from ab­ove

There’ll be no dark riv­er there;

In fel­low­ship with Him we love

There’ll be no dark riv­er there.

His word di­vine shall bright­ly shine

His end­less life we’ll share;

When all to Je­sus we re­sign

There’ll be no dark riv­er there.

And when we’ve crossed the mys­tic tide

There’ll be no dark riv­er there;

When we have reached the oth­er side

There’ll be no dark riv­er there.

And hand in hand we’ll walk the strand

With loved ones bright and fair

For in that hap­py heav’n­ly land

There’ll be no dark riv­er there.

Let this blest thought fresh cour­age give

There’ll be no dark riv­er there;

In that bright home of peace and love

There’ll be no dark riv­er there.

The gate ajar

we see afar

Beyond this world of care;

Tho’ Jor­dan’s stream may us di­vide

There’ll be no dark riv­er there.
