First Line: Just beyond the silent river,

Just beyond the silent river,
Over on the farther shore,
Many loved ones there shall greet us,
Where the many mansions are.

Just beyond earth's snow-capped mountains,
In that land so bright and fair,
We shall see and be like Jesus,
Safe for ever over there ;
We shall see and be like Jesus,
Safe for ever over there.

2 Just beyond these fleeting shadows,
Over on the golden strand,
Robed in white, we'll walk with Jesus
Through that fair and happy land.

3 Just beyond these earthly partings
We shall soon united be,
In the home beyond the river,
Close beside the crystal sea.
