Chorus: Over there, over there, In that home beyond the river, bright and fair; Where is never known a night, Where the Savior is the light, While the never-ending years are rolling on. 2 What rejoicing there will be When the friends of earth we see, Gathered near the throne eternal over there; Clothed in robes of righteousness, Whom the Savior shall confess In the presence of the Father over there. [Chorus] 3 What rejoicing there will be Thro’ a long eternity When the nations shall be gathered over there; Giving Jesus all the praise For His wondrous works and ways And the mansions waiting for us over there.
