87. Home On the Banks of the River

1 There's a beautiful home beyond the dark river,
There's a mansion by faith I can see;
And the Savior is there His [sic] faithful to welcome,
There's a beautiful home for me.

Refrain:
Home on the banks of the river,
Home where the ransomed ones gather,
Home with its angels forever,
On the beautiful banks of the river.

2 'Tis a beautiful home, and God is its Maker,
In a land that no mortal has trod;
Soon the angels will come and carry me over,
To that beautiful home of God. [Refrain]

3 O that wonderful place to which I am going,
It by faith I in rapture behold;
Its gates are of pearl, its walls are of jasper,
And its beautiful streets are gold. [Refrain]

4 I have followed the way of life to the river,
I can see the glad portals above;
I am ready to go and live with my Savior,
In the beautiful home of love. [Refrain]
