2. I have read of the clear sparkling river,
Bursting out ’neath the great throne of God;
How its sweet waters glide on forever,
Making glad all the host of the Lord. [Refrain]
3. I have read how the banks of that river
By the saints and the angels are trod;
How their glorious anthems forever
Swell the praise of our Savior and God. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I have read of the sweet olden story]
