Sheet music
- 1Just beyond the rolling river,Lies a bright and sunny land,Where the saved with Christ are dwelling,A united happy band.Just beyond the rolling river,In that land so bright and fair,We will dwell with Christ forever;Over there, yes, over there.
- 2Soon we'll cross the rolling river,Soon we'll join the happy band.There to dwell with Christ foreverIn that holy happy land.Just beyond the rolling river,In that land so bright and fair,We will dwell with Christ forever;Over there, yes, over there.
- 3When we've crossed the rolling river,To that land beyond the tide,Pearly gates on golden hinges,Will be standing open wide.Just beyond the rolling river,In that land so bright and fair,We will dwell with Christ forever;Over there, yes, over there.
