O Think of the Home Over There (Over There)
No. 492O think of a home over there
By the side of the river of light
Where the saints all immortal and fair
Are robed in their garments of white.
Refrain:
Over there, over there,
O think of the home over there
Over there, over there,
O think of a home over there.
O think of the friends over there,
Who before us the journey have trod;
Of the songs that they breathe on the air,
In their home in the palace of God.
Refrain:
Over there, over there,
O think of the home over there
Over there, over there,
O think of a home over there.
I’ll soon be at home over there,
For the end of my journey I see;
Many dear to my heart over there
Are watching and waiting for me.
Refrain:
Over there, over there,
O think of the home over there
Over there, over there,
O think of a home over there.
