Crossing the River

1 One by one we are cross­ing the ri­ver;
Naught do we fear with our Fa­ther to guide;
Sorrow and care we are leav­ing be­hind us,
Safety we’ll find on the oth­er side.

Refrain:
Over the ri­ver, over the ri­ver,
Joyfully ga­ther­ing one by one;
Peace may be found in that glo­ri­ous coun­try,
Over the ri­ver, when life is done.

2 One by one may our sins be for­giv­en;
Washed by the tears of re­pent­ance away;
Never a cloud spread a sha­dow in Hea­ven—
Entering there we’ll find end­less day. [Refrain]

3 One by one may we ga­ther to­ge­ther;
When we have all reached that beau­ti­ful shore;
Mingling our voic­es in praise of the Fa­ther,
Living with Je­sus for­ev­er­more. [Refrain]
