On the Other Side

Author: Emma Pitt Hymnal: The Ark of Praise #70 (1882) First Line: We're over on the stormy side Refrain First Line: On the other side, beyond the rolling tide Lyrics: 1 We’re over on the stormy side, Dark clouds beset our way, But just across the rolling tide Beam shores of endless day. Refrain: On the other side, beyond the rolling tide, Jesus is waiting for me, On the golden shore, In the grand evermore, Loved ones are watching, for me. 2 There is another, brighter side Of life beyond the sky, Where sin and sorrow ne’er betide, And loved ones never die. [Refrain] 3 Our journey here will soon be done, We’ll enter into rest, In yonder clime that needs no sun,— Repose on Jesus’ breast. [Refrain] 4 Soon I shall strike those harps of gold, Where flowers immortal bloom, My dear Redeemer’s face behold, And calmly rest at home. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We're over on the stormy side]
