1 We are marching forth to a home on high,
Over in the golden land;
We shall gather there in the by and by,
Over in the golden land.
Chorus:
Over in the golden land,
Over in the golden land;
With our trials past, we shall meet at last,
Over in the golden land.
2 We shall meet our loved ones upon that shore,
Over in the golden land;
With the vict'ry won, and the battle o'er,
Over in the golden land. [Chorus]
3 Jesus Christ will give us a crown at last,
Over in the golden land;
When our cares and trials are from us cast,
Over in the golden land. [Chorus]
4 We will sing the songs that the ransomed sing,
Over in the golden land;
Thro' the endless years will the music ring,
Over in the golden land. [Chorus]

Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton… Go to person page >
