Across the River.

THERE are beautiful fields on the further side, Where the hosts of the saved shall stand, There are mansions of beauty beyond the tide, And the light that beams o’er the waters wide, Is a light from the “Better Land.”

There are rivers that roll over golden sands, Through the midst of this realm so fair, And the beautiful gardens of God are fanned By the wonderful breezes so soft and bland, That sweeten the heavenly air.

There’s a city whose gates are of pearly white, Whose glories forever shall stand, And there never shall gather the shades of night, For the throne of God is the sun and the light, In the midst of this blissful land.

We shall join in the song which the angels sing As they stand on the heavenly plain, We shall play on a harp with a golden string, And the light of the heavenly vault shall ring With the praise of a Saviour slain.
