Light in the Valley ‎#21

21. Over in the Golden Land

1 We are marching forth to a home on high,
Over in the golden land;
We shall gather there in the by and by,
Over in the golden land.

Chorus:
Over in the golden land,
Over in the golden land;
With our trials past, we shall meet at last,
Over in the golden land.

2 We shall meet our loved ones upon that shore,
Over in the golden land;
With the vict'ry won, and the battle o'er,
Over in the golden land. [Chorus]

3 Jesus Christ will give us a crown at last,
Over in the golden land;
When our cares and trials are from us cast,
Over in the golden land. [Chorus]

4 We will sing the songs that the ransomed sing,
Over in the golden land;
Thro' the endless years will the music ring,
Over in the golden land. [Chorus]
