Over The River They Call Me

Over the river they call me,

Friends that are dear to my heart;

Soon shall I meet them in glory,

Never, no never to part.

Refrain

Over the river to Eden,

Home to their dwelling so fair;

Angels will carry me safely.

Jesus will welcome me there.

Over the river they call me,

Hark, 'tis their voices I hear,

Borne on the wings of the twilight,

Murmuring softly and clear.

Refrain

Over the river, how lovely,

There is no sorrow nor night;

There they are walking with Jesus,

Clothed in His garment of light.

Refrain

Over the river they call me,

Watching with glad, beaming eyes;

Over the river I'm coming,

Joyful my spirit replies.
