And Jesus, my Savior, has gone to that city, A place for His own to prepare; In the house of the Father the mansions are many, And one is awaiting me there. Refrain: Just over the river, That beautiful city I see; Just over the river, A place in that city for me. 2 Just over the river, just over the river, The city that knoweth no night; It needeth no sun, neither needeth the moon, For the glory of God is its light. In that city are loved ones awaiting my coming, Expectant they stand on the shore; O when shall I enter my mansion in Heaven, A pilgrim to roam nevermore?
