After the life-paths we’re tread­ing
End upon time’s so­lemn shore,
There will be light at the ri­ver
While the re­deemed ones pass o’er.

Refrain

There will be light at the ri­ver,
There will be light at the ri­ver,
There will be light at the ri­ver,
While the re­deemed ones pass o’er.

There will be light for the spir­its
Who thro’ deep sha­dows have come—
Fadeless light shin­ing glad wel­come
Out from the win­dows of home.

Refrain

There will be light for the wea­ry
Who thro’ sore tri­als have passed—
Radiant light as they en­ter,
Peace that for ev­er shall last.

Refrain

There will be light for the faith­ful,
Whate’er the way they have trod—
Glorious light sent to guide them
Safe to the ci­ty of God.
