Original lyrics
ENMy 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,
I'll rest where the sweet water flows.
