Hymnal: The Welcome Voice #42 (1884) First Line: Oh, think of the home over there Refrain First Line: Over there, over there Lyrics: 1 Oh, 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,
Oh, think of the home over there.
2 Oh, think of the friends 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 kindred 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]
