How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

And feel the pride      and joy he brings;

And then one day, I'll cross the river, 
A#m  C#           G# D#7 G# C#      E7   A#m7  D#7 
I'll fight life's fi        nal war with pain; 
Cm        D#7 G#         D#  G#7 C#      
And then, as death gives way to victory, 
        C#m6 G# G#dim  G#    D#7              G#              
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He reigns!
