Over the Border Land

Representative Text

1 A home on high is waiting me,
Just over the border land,
And there my Saviour I shall see,
Just over the border land.

Refrain:
Just over the border land,
There waits the home of the soul,
Where praise shall ring as the years shall roll,
Just over the border land.

2 My lov’d ones there, will welcome me,
Just over the border land,
And with them soon, fore’er I’ll be,
Just over the border land. [Refrain]

3 My Saviour there is calling me,
Just over the border land,
And by His grace will make me free,
Just over the border land. [Refrain]

4 The smiles of God will fall on me,
Just over the border land,
And bless me thro’ eternity,
Just over the border land. [Refrain]
