Representative Text

1 There’s a land of joy, there’s a land of light,
Over Jor­dan so deep and wide;
And my soul takes wing, as I hear them sing,
Just ov­er on the glo­ry side.

Refrain:
To be up yon­der on the heav’n­ly side,
To be up yon­der on the glo­ry side,
Up there, just over on the heav’n­ly side,
With the Sav­ior ev­er­more abide.

2 There’s a land of hope, there’s a land of love,
Over Jor­dan, that fear­ful tide;
And I list and long for the an­gel song,
Just ov­er on the glo­ry side. [Refrain]

3 There’s a land of rest, there’s a land of peace,
Where the waters so sil­v’ry glide;
And my spi­rit flies to the morn­ing skies
Just ov­er on the glo­ry side. [Refrain]
