431. Over Yonder

Ab                  Ebsus Eb7
Come let us sing of home- land,

Eb          Eb7     Ab
Down by the crystal sea;

Wonderful land where Jesus

Eb7        Bb7         Eb Eb7
Buildeth a mansion for me.

Ab   Db  Ab                       Eb7
Over yon-der, down by the crystal sea,

Over yonder, there’s where I long to be,

No more sor-row, toil, grief, nor care,

In the homeland bright and fair,

Db Ab   B Eb7 Ab Db Ab
O- ver, o-ver there.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Come let us sing of homeland,
Down by the crystal sea;
Wonderful land where Jesus
Buildeth a mansion for me.

[Refrain]
Over yonder, down by the crystal sea,
down by the crystal sea,
Over yonder, there’s where I long to be,
There’s where I long to be,
No more sorrow, toil, grief, nor care,
In the homeland bright and fair,
Over, over there.
Over there.

[Verse 2]
Water of life there floweth,
Fruit in abundant store;
Citizens of that country
Hunger and thirst never more.

[Verse 3]
Come go with me to homeland,
Jesus invites you there;
Help spread the invitation,
Tell it to men everywhere.
