Over in glory with Jesus we'll
stand,
Far
from this world's trouble and strife;
We'll know no sadness, just
love in that land...
Joy
and peace and eternal life.
Here in this low land our hearts
oft are torn,
Often
our eyes shed bitter tears;
Here oft by the graves of
loved ones we mourn,
Tossed
to and fro by doubts and fears.
Here with the questions of
life we oft fight,
Confused,
bewildered, filled with pain;
We study and pray and seek
heaven's light,
Hoping
a crown someday to gain.
Over in glory with Jesus we'll
stand,
Far
from this world's trouble and strife;
We'll know no sadness, just
love in that land...
Joy
and peace and eternal life.
Carelessly here we oft turn
from the Way,
Wasting
our time, living in sin;
Thinking not of the price
that we must pay
Forgetting
the frailty of men.
Thinking we'll always have
time to repent,
We
foolishly drift from the shore;
Forgetting that soon our lives
will be spent,
Then
grace will call to us no more.
Over in glory with Jesus we'll
stand,
Far
from this world's trouble and strife;
We'll know no sadness, just
love in that land...
Joy
and peace and eternal life.
What hope you to gain by endless
delays?
No
better offer will be made.
No other Savior is worthy
of praise,
For
none paid the price that He paid.
Are you prepared for that
great Judgment Day?
Get
ready -- it's coming, my friend;
Now let the Savior wash your
sins away,
Who
knows, friend, when cometh the end?
Over in glory with Jesus we'll
stand,
Far
from this world's trouble and strife;
We'll know no sadness, just
love in that land...
Joy
and peace and eternal life.
