Waiting by the River

Author: Miss M. P. Griffin Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.1 #36 (1887) First Line: We are waiting by the river Refrain First Line: Waiting, watching, waiting, watching Lyrics: 1 We are waiting by the river, We are watching on the shore, Only waiting for the boatman, Soon he'll come to bear us o'er. Refrain: Waiting, watching, waiting, watching, We are watching on the shore Waiting, watching, waiting, watching For the boatman who will bear us o’er. 2 Tho’ the mists hang o'er the river, And its billows loudly roar, Yet we hear the songs of angels, Wafted from the other shore. [Refrain] 3 And the bright celestial city, We have caught such radiant gleams Of its towers, like dazzling sunlight, With its sweet and peaceful streams. [Refrain] 4 He has called for many loved ones, We have seen them leave our side; With our Saviour we shall meet them When we too have crossed the tide. [Refrain] 5 When we've passed the vale of shadows With its dark and chilling tide, In that bright and glorious city We shall evermore abide. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are waiting by the river]

Waiting by the River

Hymnal: The Little Seraph #132a (1874) First Line: We are waiting by the river Refrain First Line: We are waiting by the river Lyrics: 1 We are waiting by the river, We are watching on the shore, Only waiting for the angel, Soon he's come to bear us o'er. Chorus: We are waiting by the river, We are watching on the shore, Only waiting for the angel, Soon he'll come to bear us o'er. 2 There is darkness o'er the river, And its billows loudly roar, Yet the music of the angels Cheers us from the other shore. [Chorus] 3 And the city, bright with glory, How its splendor charms the eye! Though we view it from a distance, We shall reach it by-and-bye. [Chorus] 4 He has taken many a loved one, We have seen them leave our side, With our Saviour we shall meet them, When we cross the rolling tide. [Chorus] 5 Through the lonely vale of shadows, When in triumph we have passed, In the happy land of promise, We shall meet our friends at last. [Chorus] Tune Title: [We are waiting by the river]
