44. They Will Meet Me Over There

1 They will meet me over there
In that shining land;
At the portal bright and fair
Shall my loved ones stand.
They will gladly welcome me
As I cross the foam,
As I cross the storm sea,
To my heav’nly home!

Refrain:
They will meet me over there,
Yes, they’ll meet me there,
When the years of earth are past
With their toil and care;
They will gladly welcome me,
As I cross the foam;
They will meet me over there,
They will meet me there.

2 Oft I look with eager eyes
Thro’ the mist of years,
And those heav’nly mansions rise
To my vision near;
And in fancy I can see,
In that shining place,
Smiling once again at me,
Each belovéd face! [Refrain]

3 Then, while here on earth I stay,
May I faithful prove,
For they watch me day by day
With glad eyes of love;
And they wait and long for me,
Till the hour shall come
When I cross the stormy sea,
To my heav’nly home! [Refrain]
