God is Love
Author: Eben E. Rexford Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Over there what rest is waiting Refrain First Line: Over there, oh, rest eternal Lyrics: 1 Over there what rest is waiting,
For earth’s trials compensating,
When we lay our burdens down,
When we lay our burdens down;
Never any pain or sorrow,
Over there in God’s tomorrow
Where we’ll find the victor’s crown,
Where we’ll find the victor’s crown.
Refrain:
Over there, oh, rest eternal!
Over there, oh, joys supernal!
In the country always vernal,
Over there, over there!
2 Over there we shall know Jesus,
In the home from which He sees us
Journeying heav’nward day by day,
Journeying heav’nward day by day;
We shall feel His arms around us,
In the mighty love that found us
When we wandered from the way,
When we wandered from the way. [Refrain]
3 Over there! no words can capture
All the soul’s exultant rapture,
When we think of going home,
When we think of going home,
To the rest and to the glory,
Told in song and sacred story,
Nevermore from God to roam,
Nevermore from God to roam. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Over there what rest is waiting]
God is Love
