New Sacred Quartettes for Male, Female and Mixed Voices ‎#19

19. Crossing to That Far, Far Away

1 Crossing the river,
Going to that far away;
Out of the shadows
Into the sunlight of day.

Chorus:
Crossing, crossing one by one;
Crossing to that far, far away;
Crossing, crossing one by one,
Crossing to that far, far away.

2 Crossing the river,
Visions of rapture behold;
Crossing the river,
Into the Savior's fold. [Chorus]

3 Crossing the river,
Angels to bear them away;
Crossing the river,
No lonely hours mar the day. [Chorus]

5[sic] Crossing to meet Him,
Heavens roll back as a scroll;
Crossing to greet Him,
Where love alone 'twines the soul. [Chorus]
