STANDING BY THE RIVER

                            I
HERE I STAND BESIDE DEATH'S CHILLY WATERS WAITING FOR MY FINAL CALL

                      STANDING BY THE RI-VER LOOK-ING BE-YOND
STAND-ING BY THE RIV-ER                                     LOOK-ING BE-YOND

GAZING T'WARD THE LAND OF FADELESS BEAUTY WHERE NO SURGES RISE AND FALL

STAND-ING BY THE RIV-ER                       LOOK-ING BE-YOND
                      STAND-ING BY THE RIV-ER               LOOK-ING BE-YOND

                             II
MUSIC FROM THE LAND OF ENDLESS GLORY FALLS UPON MY LIST'NING EAR

                      STAND-ING BY THE RIV-ER LOOK-ING BE-YOND
STAND-ING BY THE RI-VER                                      LOOK-ING BE-YOND

FACES OF MY FRIENDS I OFTEN VISION FORMS OF LOVED ONES OFT APPEAR

STAND-ING BY THE RIV-ER                       LOOK-ING BE-YOND
                      STAND-ING BY THE RIV-ER              LOOK-ING BE-YOND

                              III
SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT ARE SWIFTLY FALLING LO I HEAR THE BOATMAN'S OAR

                      STAND-ING BY THE RI-VER LOOK-ING BE-YOND
STAND-ING BY THE RI-VER                                      LOOK-ING BE-YOND

MANY ARE THE VOICES SWEETLY CALLING I MUST TARRY HERE NO MORE

STAND-ING BY THE RI-VER                       LOOK-ING BE-YOND
                      STAND-ING BY THE RI-VER              LOOK-ING BE-YOND

                          CHORUS
                   STAND-ING BY THE RIV-ER          WAITING FOR THE BOATMAN
STANDING BY THE RIV-ER                   WAITING FOR THE BOATMAN

                    LIST'NING TO THE MU-SIC ON THE OTH-ER SHORE
LIST'NING TO THE MU-SIC                                  THE OTH-ER SHORE

                    I CAN HEAR THE AN-GELS             SINGING OUT A WELCOME
I CAN HEAR THE AN-GELS                 SING-ING OUT A WELCOME

WITH MY FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES                       WHO HAVE GONE BE-FORE
                         WITH MY FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES         GONE BE-FORE
