Just over in the glory-land,
I’ll join the happy angel band,
Just over in the glory-land;
Just over in the glory-land,
There with the mighty host I’ll stand,
Just over in the glory-land.

Just over in the glory-land;
There to sing God’s praise and His glory share,
Just over in the glory-land. [Refrain]

Just over in the glory-land;
And with kindred saved, there forever be,
Just over in the glory-land. [Refrain]

Glad hosannas to Christ, the Lord and King,
Just over in the glory-land. [Refrain] Topics: Everlasting Life Scripture: Ephesians 2:19 Languages: English Tune Title: IN THE GLORYLAND
