Lyics

O THINK of the home over there,

By the side of the river of light,

Where the saints, all immortal and fair,

Are robed in their garments of white,

REF.--Over there, over there,

	Are robed in their garments of white.



O think of the friends over there,

Who before us the journey have trod;

Of the songs that they breathe on the air,

In their home in the palace of God,

REF.--Over there, over there,

	In their home in the palace of God.



My Saviour is now over there;

There my kindred and friends are at rest;

Then, away from my sorrow and care,

Let me fly to the land of the blest.

REF.--Over there, over there,

	My Saviour is now over there.



I'll soon be at home over there,

For the end of my journey I see;

Many dear to my heart, over there,

Are watching and waiting for me.

REF.--Over there, over there,

	I'll soon be at home over there.
