Lyrics
Verse 1
Here I stand beside death's chilly waters waiting for my final call, Standing by the river looking beyond; Gazing t'ward the land of fadeless beauty where no surges rise and fall, Standing by the river looking beyond.
Verse 2
Music from the land of endless glory fall upon my list'ning ear, Standing by the river looking beyond; Faces of my friends I often vision, forms of loved ones oft appear, Standing by the river looking beyond.
Verse 3
Shadows of the night are swiftly falling, lo, I hear the boatman's soar, Standing by the river looking beyond; Many are the voices sweetly calling, I must tarry here no more, Standing by the river looking beyond.
Chorus
Standing by the river waiting for the boatman, List'ning to the music on the other shore; I can hear the angels singing out a welcome, With my friends and loved ones who have gone before.
