Chorus
I've a home beyond the river
I've a mansion bright and fair
I've a home beyond the river
I will dwell with Jesus there
Verse 1
Oh the blessed contemplation
When with trouble here I sigh
I've a home beyond the river
That I'll enter by and by
Verse 2
Just a little more to labor
Tell the story watch and pray
Just a few more earthly sorrows
Then to heav'n we'll fly away
Verse 3
Oh how sweet t'will be to meet them
All the ransomed host above
Sweeter still to see the Savior
Praise Him for redeeming love
Verse 4
Tho the world is filled with sorrow
And the teardrops often fall
There will be but joy and gladness
Safe inside the jasper wall
Verse 5
Tho the hills are rough and stony
And the valleys dark and cold
I must walk the path before me
It will someday turn to gold
