She Is Sleeping

Lyrics

There’s a land beyond the river,
Where the skies are ever fair;
And I have an angel mother,
Who is waiting for me there.

Chorus:

Come, O boatman, row me over,
To a fairer land than this;
For my heart grows weary waiting,
For my angel mother’s kiss.

She went o’er the silent waters,
At the setting of the sun;
And I know that she is happy,
For the Christian’s course is run.

(Chorus)

In that land where she is waiting,
For the ones she loved on earth;
Sin and sorrow never enter,
But eternal days have birth.

(Chorus)

When the solemn summons calls us,
To the mansions of the blest;
We shall lose our earthly sorrows,
In a sense of blissful rest.

(Chorus)
