Is it far to that beautiful home Where the loved ones long before have gone? Oh, my brother, will you with me go Where we'll meet our friends to part no more. Chorus: Is it far to that beautiful river? Tell me, is it far? Is it far where we'll sing and shout forever, Tell me, brother, is it far? Is it far to that beautiful home Where the angels sing around the throne? 'Tis a thought that cheers me on my way, That there is a bright eternal day. (Chorus) Is it far to that beautiful home? I am weary waiting here alone; I shall soon cross Jordan's rolling tide, And with Jesus ever safe abide. (Chorus)
