Row Me Over the Tide
-Edward C Avis
Two little children were walking one day,
Down by the clear river side,
One came up to a boatman and asked,
"Row us over the tide"
Chorus:
Row us over the tide, Please row us over the tide
Loved ones are waiting for us on the strand
Row us over the tide
We are so poor and so hungry and cold
We have no place to abide,
Papa and Mama and Nellie are gone
Row us over the tide
Chorus
Dear Mama told little Charlie one day,
Jesus would care for her child,
But we are tired of waiting so long,
Row us over the tide
Chorus
Two little faces no more we shall see,
Sweetly they sleep side by side,
Jesus so full of compassion and love,
Rowed them over the tide
Chorus
Jesus who died for the rich and the poor
Answered the little ones prayer,
And He who notes every sparrow that falls,
For His own children shall care
Chorus
