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
