In the heavenly clime
We shall meet some time,
Beside the beautiful river;
We shall find the joy
That has no alloy,
Beside the beautiful river.

Refrain

Beside the beautiful river we’ll stray,
In the glorious light of eternity’s day;
And with saved ones we’ll praise
Our Redeemer for aye,
Beside the beautiful river.

With the pure and blest
We shall sweetly rest,
Beside the beautiful river;
With all conflicts o’er,
Trials come no more,
Beside the beautiful river.

Refrain

We shall learn the song
Of the blood-washed throng,
Beside the beautiful river;
While long ages roll,
We shall Christ extol
Beside the beautiful river.
