My family has a recording of my grandfather singing this song, and I'm interested if anyone knows where I can find a complete transcription and if there are any known commercial recordings of it out there. I'm not sure that is the exact title, but that is the first line of the song. Thanks. You can reply to me at [e-mail].

Eric.....

I think the one you're looking for is "Shall We Gather at the River." It's it the database, search [gather at the river]. You can also find it in The Cyber Hymnal, complete with MIDI, at:

I have recorded versions by Red Foley, Tennessee Ernie Ford and Roy Rogers/Dale Evans. Think I'll dig 'em out now and have a listen.

There is also "When They Ring The Golden Bells", which starts out, There's a land beyond the river. . .

Tennessee Ernie did this one, too. You can also find it at the Cyber Hymnal.
