I’ll Meet You By The River Lyrics

By Albert E. Brumley

1. Over on the bright Elysian shore, where the howling tempest comes no more, 

I'll meet you by the river (Meet you by the river) some sweet day

Far beyond the partings and the tomb, where the charming roses ever bloom, 

I'll meet you by the river (Meet you by the river) some sweet day

 

Chorus

I'll meet you by the river (Meet you by the river) some sweet day 

By the bright and shining river (bright and shining river) far away

After we have flown these prison bars, to a land that's far beyond the stars, 

I'll meet you by the river (Meet you by the river) some sweet day

 

After all the sorrow and the strife, after all the trouble of this life, 

I'll meet you by the river (Meet you by the river) some sweet day

when we gather far beyond the sea, What a happy meeting that will be, 

I'll meet you by the river (Meet you by the river) some sweet day



After all the disappointments here, after all the shadows disappear, 

I'll meet you by the river (Meet you by the river) some sweet day

When the evening sun at last goes down, When we go to wear a robe and crown, 

I'll meet you by the river (Meet you by the river) some sweet day.
