Oh, think of the home over there

December 21

Oh, think of the 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,
Oh, think of the home over there;
Over there, over there, over there,
Oh, think of the home over there.

Oh, 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,
Oh, think of the friends over there;
Over there, over there, over there,
Oh, think of the friends 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,
I’ll soon be at home over there;
Over there, over there, over there,
I’ll soon be at home over there.
