140. Everybody will be Happy Over There

1 There's a happy land of promise over in the great beyond,
Where the saved of earth shall soon the glory share;
Where the souls of men shall enter and live on forever more,
Ev'rybody will be happy over there.

Refrain:
Ev'rybody will be happy, will be happy over there,
We will shout and sing His praise;
Ev'rybody will be happy over there.

2 Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers will be singing 'round the throne
In that land where no one ever knows a care
And the christians of all ages will join in the triumph song,
Ev'rybody will be happy over there. [Refrain]

3 We will hear nobody praying and no mourning in that land,
For no burdens there will be for us to bear;
All the people will be singing "Glory, glory to the Lamb,
Ev'rybody will be happy over there. [Refrain]

4 There we'll meet the One who saved us and who kept us by His grace,
And who bro't us to that land so bright and fair;
We will praise His name forever as we look upon His face,
Ev'rybody will be happy over there. [Refrain]
