Over on the farther shore,
Many loved ones there shall greet us,
Where the many mansions are.
Just beyond earth's snow-capped mountains,
In that land so bright and fair,
We shall see and be like Jesus,
Safe for ever over there ;
We shall see and be like Jesus,
Safe for ever over there.
2 Just beyond these fleeting shadows,
Over on the golden strand,
Robed in white, we'll walk with Jesus
Through that fair and happy land.
3 Just beyond these earthly partings
We shall soon united be,
In the home beyond the river,
Close beside the crystal sea.
