LyicsDropping down the troubled river,
To the tranquil, tranquil shore,
Where the sweet light shineth ever,
And the sun goes down no more.
Dropping down the winding river
To the wide and welcome sea,
Where no tempest wrecketh ever,
Where the sky is fair and free.
Dropping down the rapid river,
To the dear and deathless land,
Where the living live for ever
At the Father's own right hand.
