Christian Hymns ‎#74

74. Home Over There

1 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.

Chorus:
Over there, over there,
O think of the home over there,
Over there, over there, over there,
O think of a home over there.

2 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.

Chorus:
Over there, over there,
O think of the friends over there,
Over there, over there, over there,
O think of the friends over there,

3 I’ll soon be at home over there,
For the end of my journey I see;
Many dear to my heart over there,
Are waiting and watching for me.

Chorus:
Over there, over there,
I'll soon be at home over there,
Over there, over there, over there,
I'll soon be at home over there.
