The Light On The River
Written By Elmer Johnson in the Chord of Eb

Verse 1
There's a light on the bank of the river,
For the souls who have trusted God's love;
It will brighten death's chilly dark waters,
'Tis the light from the palace above.

Verse 2
When we come to the end of the journey,
And the sun of this life has gone down;
Then the Savior, the Light of the river,
Will direct us safe home to our crown.

Chorus
O the Light on the bank of the river,
What a blessing It is to the soul;
It will guide us safe over life's journey,
To heaven, sweet heaven our goal.

I have the sheet music to this song and would be glad to get it to you if you want to leave your email

Can anyone help me find the lyrics to this song? Is an old song that I heard as a child. It must be from the 1940s.
