1 O think of the home over there,
By the side of the river of light,
Where the saints, all immortal and fair,
Are robed in their garments of white,

Refrain:
Over there, over there,
O think of the home over there,
Over there, over there, over there,
O think of the home over there.

2 O think of the frinds over there,
Who before us the journey have trod,
Of the songs that they breathe on the air,
In their home in the palace of God. [Refrain]

3 My Savior is now over there,
There my kindreds and friends are at rest;
Then away from my sorrow and care,
Let me fly to the land of the blest. [Refrain]

4 I'll soon be at home over there,
For the end of my journey I see;
Many dear to my heart, over there,
Are watching and waiting for me. [Refrain]
