[Intro] D G D Bm Em A [Verse 1]
D          Gb         Bm
Oftentimes I dream of music,

       G          D      Em     A
Of the river that freely flows.

       D                         Bm
And it sings a song sweeter than honey,

         D  Bm Em    A
One everybo-dy knows.
[Verse 2]
D              Gb        Bm
Late at night, I hear it singing.

     G            D       Em    A
Then again when I wake at dawn.

       D                             Bm
And it fills me up with hope and goodwill,

               Em  Gbm Em
The will to go on, and on
[Chorus]
A          D     Gbm G
There is a river in  Judea

A      D        Gbm  G
That I heard of long ago.

A          D        Gb      G
And it's a singing, ringing river

Abm     D    Bm    Em  A
That my soul cries out

   D
To know.
[Verse 3]
D         Gb          Bm
I believe it keeps on trav'lin'

       G            D       Em   A
But it rests on the Sabbath day.

        D                      Bm
And the time when it pauses in stillness,

         D    Bm Em    A
I almost hear it pray.
[Verse 4]
D           Gb         Bm
When I'm weary and downhearted,

      G            D       Em     A
How I long for the song it sings,

        D                      Bm
For the calm within its gentle blue,

                  Em      Gbm Em
The peace that it brings, it  brings.
[Chorus]
A          D     Gbm G
There is a river in  Judea

A      D        Gbm  G
That I heard of long ago.

A          D        Gb      G
And it's a singing, ringing river

Abm     D    Bm    Em  A
That my soul cries out

   D
To know.
[Verse 5]
D            Gb         Bm
May the time not be too distant

        G           D                   Em     A
When we meet by the river (meet by the) shore.

          D                       Bm
'Til then dream of that wonderful day

                Em    Gbm  Em
As we sing once more, once more:
[Chorus]
A          D     Gbm G
There is a river in  Judea

A      D        Gbm  G
That I heard of long ago.

A          D        Gb      G
And it's a singing, ringing river

Abm     D    Bm    Em  A
That my soul cries out

   D
To know.
