My life is almost over
I'll rest where the sweet water flows
Beside a peaceful river
Never more sorrows to know

Beautiful heaven awaits me
A mansion I have been told
Free from all cares and troubles
I'll rest where the sweet water flows

The day draws near for my parting
To a better land I want to go
The sun will be shining forever
Up there where the sweet water flows

Beautiful heaven awaits me
A mansion I have been told
Free from all cares and troubles
