Lyrics

Verse 1

Here I stand beside death's chilly waters waiting for my final call, (Standing by the river) Standing by the river looking beyond; (looking beyond;) Gazing t'ward the land of fadeless beauty where no surges rise and fall, Standing by the river (Standing by the river) looking beyond; (looking beyond.)

Verse 2

Music from the land of endless glory fall upon my list'ning ear, (Standing by the river) Standing by the river looking beyond; (looking beyond.)Faces of my friends I often vision, forms of loved ones oft appear, Standing by the river (Standing by the river) looking beyond; (looking beyond.)

Verse 3

Shadows of the night are swiftly falling, lo, I hear the boatman's soar, (Standing by the river) Standing by the river looking beyond; (looking beyond;) Many are the voices sweetly calling, I must tarry here no more, Standing by the river (Standing by the river) looking beyond; (looking beyond.)

Chorus

(Standing by the river) Standing by the river (waiting for the boatman,) waiting for the boatman, (List'ning to the music) List'ning to the music on the other shore; (the other shore; I can hear the angels) I can hear the angels (singing out a welcome,) singing out a welcome, With my friends and loved ones (With my friends and loved ones) who have gone before. (gone on before.)
