Along the River of Thine we glide,
Along the River, along the River,
The swiftly flowing, resistless tide,
The swiftly flowing, the swiftly flowing,
And soon, ah, soon, the end we’ll see;
Yes, soon ‘twill come, and we will be
|:Floating, Floating,
Out on the sea of Eternity! :|
Along the River of Thine we glide,
Along the River, along the River,
A thousand dangers its currents hide,
A thousand dangers, a thousand dangers;
And near our course the rocks we see:
Oh, dreadful thought! A wreck to be,
|:Floating, Floating,
Out on the sea of Eternity! :|
Along the River of Thine we glide,
Along the River, along the River,
Our Saviour only our bark can guide,
Our Saviour only, our Saviour only;
But with Him we secure may be:
No fear, no doubt—but joy to be
|:Floating, Floating,
Out on the sea of Eternity! :|
