Representative Text

1 We shall meet beyond the river,
We shall gather there some day,
With the saints and singing angels
Where all tears are wiped away.

Refrain:
We shall meet beyond the river,
On that bright celestial shore;
We shall meet beyond the river,
Where we’ll praise Him evermore.

2 We shall meet beyond the river,
If our spirits are made whole;
We shall meet the starry crowned ones
In the kingdom of the soul. [Refrain]

3 We shall meet beyond the river,
Where the fadeless landscapes lie;
Where the holy, happy dwellers
Ne’er shall part, and ne’er shall die. [Refrain]
