While Ages Roll On(?)

Post by whosthatolboy » Mon Jun 27, 2011 5:16 pm

I'm looking for a Hymn that my Dad used to sing. From the title, you probably think it's the Ralph Stanley Hymn, but it isn't. I've emailed a half dozen people that study these old hymns and none of them can give me a answer. One man said it likely came from an old Camp Meeting and that they often didn't commit them to paper.

The words I do know go something like this:
" On some glad morning that's not far away,
I'll cross the river forever to stay,
Basking in Sunlight, with no ending day(?)
I'll cross the River While Ages Rolll On."

If it helps, my Father was the son and grandson of Church Of Christ Preachers in the Missouri Ozarks. He's crossed the River now himself, so I would be in the debt of anyone who could help me track this down.
