Robin Hendrix, mezzo-soprano, sings with Michel Prezman, accompanying on piano, May 16, 2010, at the magnificent Notre Dame de la Réal church, in Perpignan, France. American hymn tune by Robert Lowry, minister and composer, arranged by Aaron Copland as part of his Old American Songs collection. Broad, majestic hymn tune captures the ecstasy that the faithful will experience after death, when they gather at the river that flows by the throne of God. They will end their pilgrimage at the moment they cross that beautiful and shining river, where they will meet family and friends, and all toils and burdens shall be released. The crossing of rivers is a significant image in many religions, most famously the River Styx, in Greek mythology.
