#### 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
