And it sings a song sweeter than honey, one ev’ry body knows. Late at night I hear it singing, then again when I wake at dawn. And it fills me up with hope and goodwill, the will to go on, go on. There is a river in Judea that I heard of long ago. And it’s a singing, ringing river, that my soul cries out to know. I believe it keeps on trav’lin, but it rests on the Sabbath day. And the time when it pauses in stillness, I almost hear it pray. When I’m weary and downhearted, how I long for the song it sings, For the calm within its gentle blue, the peace that it brings. There is a river in Judea that I heard of long ago. And it’s a singing, ringing river, that my soul cries out to know. May the time not be too distant, when we meet by the river, meet by the shore. ‘Til then dream of that wonderful day as we sing once more, once more: There is a river in Judea that I heard of long ago. Hallelujah, It’s a singing, ringing river, that my soul cries out, my soul cries out to the River in Judea, hallelujah!
