Representative Text

1 My heart is over yonder,
My treasure, too, is there,
Where Jesus our Redeemer
Will banish ev’ry care.

Refrain:
Where fadeless flow’rs are blooming,
And perfect joys abide,
My heart is over yonder,
Beyond the swelling tide.

2 No night is over yonder,
No sorrow chills the heart,
And they who pass its portals
Shall meet but never part. [Refrain]

3 My thoughts are over yonder;
How oft in dreams I view
The lovely hills of Canaan,
Its skies of cloudless blue. [Refrain]

4 My friends are over yonder,
They watch and wait for me;
The ties that here were broken
Shall there united be. [Refrain]
