Hello. This is a rather somber request. And it may be a long shot as a lot of songs have these lyrics in them but any idea would be appreciated. My best friend's grandfather is dying of a brain tumor, he is fading fast and wishes to know the title to a song that has these lyrics in it ... : over the river, no more sorrow, no more pain. He wanted his wife to play it at his funeral. Any ideas would be very helpful. This is most likely an older hymn as he is an older gentleman with similar tastes to that era. Thank you all very much.

I'm very sorry, but i can't find any song with those lyrics. The closest i could find was this song:
On the resurrection morning, when all the dead in Christ shall rise I'll have a new body Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life (eternal) Sewed in weakness, raised in power, ready to live in Paradise I'll have a new body Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life, oh yes
Chorus: I'll have a new home (glory, glory) of glory eternal Where the redeemed (ever stand) of God shall stand There'll be no more sorrow No more pain, there'll be no more strife (no strife) Yes, raised in the likeness (in His likeness) of my Savior Ready to live (I'll be glad) in Glory Land I'll have a new body Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life (oh yes)
What a hallelujah morning when the last trump of God shall sound I'll have a new body Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life (eternal) Graves all bursting saints all shouting, heavenly beauty all around I'll have a new body Praise the Lord, I'll have a new life
Repeat Chorus (x2)
.. the website i found it on said the song was written in 1940 by Luther G. Presley. And the song is called 'I'll have a new life'.
