Tabernacle Praises No. 1 ‎#23

23. Over There

1 Over there where the campfires are burning,
Over there midst the shot and the shell,
We must carry the great salvation,
We must go and the glad story tell.

Refrain:
Over there where the campfires are burning, over there;
Over there where our tho’ts are turning, over there;
Over there many hearts are yearning, over there;
We will pray for the boys over there.

2 Over there where temptation is calling,
Over there where the vices abound,
We must tell of the One who conquers,
We must tell of the Christ we have found. [Refrain]

3 Over there they are wounded and dying,
Over there they are dreaming of home;
They are waiting to hear of Jesus,
They are saying to us, “Won’t you come?” [Refrain]
