50. O the Music Over There!

1 Oh, the music over yonder
In the haven of the blest!
How the saints will pause in wonder
As they enter into rest!

Chorus:
Saints rejoicing! angels singing!
Victors shouting! bells aringing!
Oh, the music over there, over there,
Oh, the music over there, over there.

2 Where the healing streams are flowing,
Where the tree of life is seen;
Where the silv’ry sands are glowing,
And the fields are always green. [Chorus]

3 Where the sav’d unite in praising
Christ, the Lamb, for sinners slain
From the depths their souls upraising—
Spotless garments theirs again. [Chorus]

4 Oh, I love to tell the story
Even in this world of care;
But in yonder realms of glory
Sweeter far to sing it there! [Chorus]
