BEYOND THE RIVER.

No mortal eye that land hath seen Beyond, beyond the river; Its valleys and its hills so green, Beyond, beyond the river. Its shores are getting nearer, The skies are growing clearer, Each day it seemeth dearer, Beyond, beyond the river.
CHO.—We'll stand the storm, we'll stand the storm, Its rage is almost over; We'll anchor in the harbor soon, In the land beyond the river.
No cankering care, no mortal strife, Beyond, beyond the river; But happy, never-ending life, Beyond, beyond the river. Through the eternal hours, God's love in heavenly showers Shall water faith's fair flowers, Beyond, beyond the river.
That glorious day will ne'er be done, Beyond, beyond the river, When we've a crown and kingdom won, Beyond, beyond the river. There is eternal pleasure, And joys that none can measure, For those who have their treasure Beyond, beyond the river.
When shall we stand on Zion's hill, Beyond, beyond the river? With endless bliss our hearts shall thrill, Beyond, beyond the river. There angels bright are singing, There golden harps are ringing; We ne'er shall cease our singing Beyond, beyond the river.
