There's a deep silent river flowin' just beyond
And its waters are deep and wide
It's as dark as the night but my eyes see a light
Just down by the riverside
Chorus:
There's a light at the river
A light at the river a light at the river I can see
My Lord will stand and hold in his hand a light at the river for me
To this deep silent river I have come on my knees
I'm afraid for I know I've sinned
But the beckoning light leads me on through the night
To the waters where my soul may be cleansed
Repeat chorus
I can hear His voice saying come unto me
Dip your wings in the misty tide
Then we'll pa** o'er deep and you'll never more weep
In your home on the other side
Repeat chorus
