by William Stickles, 1948

Oh, hallelujah to the lamb
Down by the river
The Lord is on the giving hand
Down by the riverside

    Oh, we’ll wait ‘till Jesus comes
Down by the river

    Oh, we’ll wait ‘till Jesus comes
Down by the riverside

Oh, we are pilgrims here below
Down by the river
Oh, soon to glory we will go
Down by the riverside

Oh, we’ll wait ‘till Jesus comes
Down by the river
Oh, we’ll wait ‘till Jesus comes
Down by the riverside
