Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #141 (1888) First Line: Over the river, the river of time Lyrics: 1. Over the river, the river of time,
Lies the bright land of a verdure sublime;
Valleys of beauty in splendor do shine,
Beautiful, beautiful home!
Chorus:
Over the river,
Over the river,
Over the river,
The fields are all green.
2. Over the river time never grows old;
There are enjoyments and pleasures untold;
There is a city with streets of pure gold;
Beautiful, beautiful home! [Chorus]
3. Over the river our sorrows will cease,
Hush'd by the songs of a heavenly peace;
When we get there what a happy release!
Beautiful, beautiful home! [Chorus]
Tune Title: [Over the river, the river of time]
