I found slightly different lyrics at http://www.pine-net.com/babcocksstore/lightat.htm.


LIGHT AT THE RIVER


There is a river we must cross over,
When life's sun goes to sleep in the west;
There'll be a light for me at the crossing,
Guiding me to that home of sweet rest.

CHORUS:
There'll be a Light for me at the river,
Guiding my boat across the dark foam.
Down thru the valley, past the dark shadows,
Jesus, my Light, will guide me safe home.

When I reach the banks of the river,
Where the chilly waters murmur their song;
Nothing to harm me, nothing alarms me,
While I am sailing to my new home.
CHORUS

Down by the river soon I'll be standing,
Bidding farewell to friends left below.
Sailing with Jesus, I know that He will
Be the Light at the river for me.
CHORUS
