Verse 1
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 beeautiful home for me.
Verse 2
'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.
Verse 3
I have followed the way of life to the river, I can see the glad portals above; I am ready to go and live with my Savior, In the beautiful home of love.
Chorus
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.
