Refrain: Over there, over there, They can never know a fear, Over there; All their streets are shining gold, And their glory is untold, ‘Tis the Saviour’s blissful fold, Over there. 2 Now they feel no chilling blast, For their winter time is past, And their summers always last, Over there; They can never know a fear, For the Saviour’s always near, And with them is endless cheer, Over there. [Refrain] 3 They have fought the weary fight, Jesus sav’d them by his might, Now they dwell with him in light, Over there; Soon we’ll reach the shining strand, But we’ll wait our Lord’s command, ‘Till we see his beck’ning hand, Over there.
