On the Other Side We'll Sing

Representative Text

Chorus:
Over on the other side we'll sing
Glory, Hallelujah!
Over on the other side we'll sing
Glory to the Lamb!

1 Our Savior has gone over there!
Across the river
He's gone our mansions to prepare--
Over the river, [Chorus]

2 He's beckoning for us to come!
Over the river
And join the everlasting throng
Over the river, [Chorus]

3 When we arrive in that blest place!
Over the river
Eternally we'll sing his praise
Over the river, [Chorus]
