The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1356

1356. Oh, think of the home over there

1 Oh, think of the home over there,
By the side of the river of light,
Where the saints all immortal and fair,
Will be robed in their garments of white,

Refrain:
Over there, over there, Oh, think of the home over there,
Over there, over there, over there,
Oh, think of the home over there.

2 My Saviour is now over there,
There my kindred and friends soon shall rest;
Then away from my sorrow and care
Let me fly to the land of the blest,

Refrain:
Over there, over there,
My Saviour is now over there
Over there, over there, over there,
My Saviour is now over there.

3 I'll soon be at home over there,
For the end of my journey I see;
And to bear me from earth over there
The angels are coming for me,

Refrain:
Over there, over there,
I'll soon be at home over there,
Over there, over there, over there,
I'll soon be at home over there.
