Author: Claude Goodman Hymnal: Melodies of Love #33 (1962) Refrain First Line: When we come to cross the river Lyrics: 1 When the evening shadows gather,
As we near life's setting sun;
Sweet to know we're homeward going,
When our work on earth is done.
Refrain:
When we come to cross the river,
Knowing death is just a dream;
There the Savior will be waiting,
Waiting at the silent stream.
2 In this life there's disappointments,
Comes to one and all, we know;
In God's word 'tis plainly written,
Thus he planned it to be so. [Refrain]
3 Loved ones just across the river,
We shall see and we shall know;
And we'll praise the Lord our Savior,
That in love He planned it so. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the evening shadows gather]
