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 pass o'er deep and you'll never more weep In your home on the other side
