Tune:ON THE OTHER SHORE

76. On the Other Shore

1 We have fathers over yonder,
We have fathers over yonder,
We have fathers over yonder,
On the other shore.

2 We have sisters over yonder,
We have sisters over yonder,
We have sisters over yonder,
On the other shore.

3 We have brothers over yonder,
We have brothers over yonder,
We have brothers over yonder,
On the other shore.

4 We have mothers over yonder,
We have mothers over yonder,
We have mothers over yonder,
On the other shore.

5 By and by we’ll go and see them,
By and by we’ll go and see them,
By and by we’ll go and see them,
On the other shore.

6 Won’t that be a happy meeting,
Won’t that be a happy meeting,
Won’t that be a happy meeting,
On the other shore?
