I Have A Home Beyond The River


Oh the blessed contemplation
When with trouble here I sigh
I have a home beyond the river;
That I'll enter by and by.

CHORUS
I have a home beyond the river
I have a mansion bright and fair
I have a home beyond the river;
I will dwell with Jesus there

Oh how sweet 'twill be to meet there,
All the ransomed hosts above;
Sweeter still to see the Saviour,
Praise Him for redeeming love.

CHORUS
I have a home beyond the river
I have a mansion bright and fair
I have a home beyond the river;
I will dwell with Jesus there

Tho' the world is filled with sorrows,
And the teardrops often fall;
There will be but joy and gladness,
Safe inside the jasper wall.

CHORUS
I have a home beyond the river
I have a mansion bright and fair
I have a home beyond the river;
I will dwell with Jesus there

Tho' the hills are rough and stormy
And the valleys dark and cold;
I must walk the path before me;
It will some day turn to gold.

CHORUS
I have a home beyond the river
I have a mansion bright and fair
I have a home beyond the river;
I will dwell with Jesus there
