Over There
Author: Mrs. T. C. Ferguson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10737 First Line: In a manger far away Refrain First Line: Over there, over there Lyrics: 1 In a manger far away,
Once the Prince of Glory lay,
But the kings of earth would not the Savior greet;
But the wise men from afar,
Brought Him frankincense and myrrh,
And the shepherds came and worshiped at His feet.
Refrain:
Over there, over there,
In that land so bright and fair,
He will tell us all about it over there;
On that happy, golden strand,
We’ll take Jesus by His hand,
And He’ll tell us all about it over there.
2 In the temple, we are told,
He was found when twelve years old,
And the people at His knowledge were surprised;
His examples then should be
Followed now by you and me,
Tell the lost that He will heed their earnest cries. [Refrain]
3 And when He became a man,
Then according to God’s plan,
Was baptized by John in Jordan, and behold:
Heavens opened from above,
And God’s Spirit, like a dove,
Came down, and His Father’s voice was heard, we’re told. [Refrain]
4 By the Spirit He was led
To the wilderness, ’tis said,
To be tempted, but He overcame with power,
And to Naz’reth then He came,
And the Gospel did proclaim,
Many people turned against Him from that hour. [Refrain]
5 And at last those wicked men,
Full of envy and of sin,
Nailed our blessèd Savior to the cruel tree;
But triumphant from the grave,
He arose with power to save,
And from sin He wants to set the captive free. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [In a manger far away]

1876 - 1952 Person Name: Robert Emmett Winsett Composer of "[In a manger far away]" in The Cyber Hymnal Robert Emmett Winsett (January 15, 1876 — June 26, 1952 (aged 76) was an American composer and publisher of Gospel music.
Winsett was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and graduated from the Bowman Normal School of Music in 1899.
He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South. Pentecostal Power followed in 1907; that year Winsett completed postgraduate work at a conservatory.
He married Birdie Harris in 1908, and had three sons and two daughters with her. He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total. He became a minister in 1923, and was affiliated with the Church of God (Seventh Day).
Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee. He founded a new company in Chattanooga, and published more shape note music books. He remarried, to Mary Ruth Edmonton, in 1930, and had three further children.
Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame.
