Sweet Rivers (Live)

Sweet rivers of redeeming love lie just before mine eyes
Had I the pinions of a dove, I'd to those rivers fly
I'd rise superior to my pain
With joy, outstrip the wind
I'd cross over Jordan's stormy waves and leave the world behind

A few more days, or years at most
My troubles will be over (my troubles will be over)
I hope to join the heavenly host (I'd join the host)
On Canaan's happy shore (Canaan's happy shore)
My rapturous soul shall drink and feast in love's unbounded sea
The glorious hope of endless rest is ravishing to me

Oh, come, my Savior, come away (Savior, come away)
And bear me through the sky
Nor let the chariot wheels delay
But quickly draw thou nigh
Then I shall join (shall join) the angel throng
And circle 'round thy throne
I'll sing through all the ages long
And joy to be thine own

(Joy to be thine own) joy to be thine own
(Joy to be thine own) joy to be thine own
(Joy to be thine own) joy to be thine own

Sweet rivers of redeeming love lie just before mine eyes
Had I the pinions of a dove, I'd to those rivers fly
I'd rise (I'd rise) superior to my pain with joy, outstrip the wind
I'd cross over Jordan's stormy waves and leave the world behind
I'd cross over Jordan's stormy waves and leave the world behind
Leave the world behind

Sweet rivers of redeeming love
Sweet rivers of redeeming love
Sweet rivers of redeeming love lie just before mine eyes
