Over There

1 When the toils of life are ended,
And our hearts are freed from care,
In the bright, the bright forever,
We shall meet our loved ones there.

Chorus:
Over there, over there,
In the city whose streets are golden,
We shall meet our loved ones,
We shall meet our loved ones there.

2 We will watch, and pray, and wrestle,
And endure this earthly strife;
Ever stand among the faithful,
Ever wear a "crown of life." [Chorus]

3 When we cross "the rolling river,"
And have reached the "Shining shore,"
We will sing his praises ever,
With the loved ones gone before. [Chorus]

4 In that bright eternal city,
In that heav'nly mansion fair,
We shall ever dwell with Jesus,
And our loved ones over there. [Chorus]
