O 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 light
Over there, over there
O think of the home over there
Over there, over there
O think of the home over there
O 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
Over there, over there
O think of the friends over there
Over there, over there
O think of the friends over there
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
Over there, over there
I’ll soon be at home ver there
Over there, over there
I’ll soon be at home over there

Alternate verse:
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
Over there, over there
My Savior is now over there
Over there, over there
My Savior is now over there
