There’s a beau­ti­ful home beyond the dark river,
There’s a mansion by faith I can see;
And the Sav­ior is there, His 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 the angels for­ev­er,
On the beau­ti­ful banks of the river.

’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

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

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