WAITING BY THE RIVER

Words: Mary P. Griffin
Music: Asa Hull??

We are wait?ing by the ri?ver,
We are wait?ing on the shore,
Only wait?ing for the boat?man,
Soon he’ll come to bear us o’er.

Refrain:
We are wait?ing by the ri?ver,
We are wait?ing on the shore,
Only wait?ing for the boat?man,
Soon he’ll come to bear us o’er.

Though the mist hang o’er the river,
And its bi?llows loud?ly roar,
Yet we hear the song of an?gels,
Wafted on the oth?er shore.

From the bright ce?les?ti?al ci?ty,
We have caught such ra?di?ant gleams,
Of its tow?ers like dazz?ling sun?light,
With its sweet and peace?ful streams.

He has called for ma?ny a loved one,
We have seen them leave our side,
With our Sav?ior we shall meet them,
When we, too, have crossed the tide.

When we’ve passed that vale of sha?dows,
With its dark and chill?ing tide;
In that bright and glo?ri?ous ci?ty
We shall ev?er?more abide.?
