1 Oh, what gladness there will be,
What delight for you and me,
When we all sing glory over there!
How our voices sweet will soar
On the bright celestial shore,
When we all sing glory over there.

Refrain:
When we all sing glory, glory!
With the saints and angels fair,
Oh, what gladness there will be,
What delight for you and me,
When we all sing glory over there.

2 All our troubles will be past,
Joy will come to us at last,
When we all sing glory over there!
How the strains will ring and roll
In that homeland of the soul,
When we all sing glory over there. [Refrain]

3 In His presence we shall stand,
With the happy angel-band,
When we all sing glory over there!
On our forehead there will be
Crowns of immortality,
When we all sing glory over there. [Refrain]
