Over The River My Loved Ones Have Passed

Over the river my loved ones have passed,

Over the beautiful river;

Safe in the mansions of glory at last,

Now they are watching for me.

Refrain

Watching today,

Watching today;

Loved ones are waiting,

Are waiting my coming today.

Over the river with Jesus they rest,

Over the beautiful river;

Learning and singing the songs of the blest,

Yet they are watching for me.

Refrain

Over the river that sparkles so clear,

Over the beautiful river;

Oft in the silence their voices I hear,

Still they are watching for me.

Refrain

Over the river, to sever no more,

Over the beautiful river;

Soon I shall meet them on yonder bright shore,

Loved ones now watching for me.
