Some day when I travel my last mile here
The call will be coming for me
I'll enter the lifeboat that will be near
To carry me over the sea
He'll hold my hand
As over death's river I go
Then safe I'll be
In beautiful heaven I know
My bark shall sail safely though waves dash high
For Jesus will be at my side
He'll still the rough waters when by and by
I'm crossing the river so wide
He'll hold my hand (hold to my hand)
As over death's river I go
Then safe I'll be (safe I shall be)
In beautiful heaven I know
I'm ready to go to that golden shore
To live there while ages shall roll
I want to see Jesus and saints of yore
In heaven the home of the soul
He'll hold my hand (hold to my hand)
As over death's river I go
Then safe I'll be (safe I shall be)
In beautiful heaven I know
Then safe I will be
In beautiful heaven I know
