The Sunny Banks of Sweet Deliverance

On the sunny banks of sweet deliverance
Happy freedom land my immortal home
I'm going back to live when life is o'er
On the sunny banks of my home sweet home

There's a valley green where the warm winds whisper
And the master smiles as his children play
All sorrow's gone my burden's lifted
And God himself wipes the tears away

There's a land where death can never enter
The lonely tombs on the hills of God
I want my waters clear and peaceful
Where wickedness shall never trod

Trad. /Arranged by Harvey Reid & Lynn Rothermich
