1 One with the Lord, and bound to one another,
Joined by our faith to Christ the elder Brother,
Blest is our fellowship, ever growing fonder,
Promise of the better things in glory over yonder!
Refrain:
Glory over yonder, over yonder,
When Jesus comes in glory,
We shall part no more,
Glory over yonder, over yonder,
When Jesus comes in glory,
We shall part no more.
2 By blood redeemed, and heirs of God’s salvation,
Called by His Son to toil in every nation,
Far in harvest field reaping we may wander,
Laden with golden grain we’ll meet in glory yonder. [Refrain]
3 Blended our tears as for each other caring,
Mingled our prayers, each other’s burdens bearing,
Sharing the promises, even as angels ponder,
Mansions are awaiting us in glory over yonder. [Refrain]
