<p>He cut this hymn out of some newspaper and put it with others in his portfolio, intending some time when he felt like it to give it a musical setting. One Sunday afternoon, he opened his portfolio, and turning over the selections, found these words, and something seemed to say, “Now’s your time.” He sat down at the organ, studied the hymn intently for a few moments, and then, as his fingers touched the keys of the instrument, melody and harmony were in every
|
|
movement…and “Over There” was born.</p>

<p>O think of the home over there,<br>
|
|
By the side of the river of light,<br>
|
|
Where the saints, all immortal and fair,<br>
|
|
Are robed in their garments of light.<br>
|
|
Over there, over there,<br>
|
|
O think of the home over there,<br>
|
|
Over there, over there,<br>
|
|
O think of the home over there.</p>
|
|
<p>O think of the friends over there,<br>
|
|
Who before us the journey have trod,<br>
|
|
Of the songs that they breathe on the air,<br>
|
|
In their home in the palace of God.<br>
|
|
Over there, over there,<br>
|
|
O think of the friends over there,<br>
|
|
Over there, over there,<br>
|
|
O think of the friends over there.</p>
|
|
<p>My Savior is now over there,<br>
|
|
There my kindred and friends are at rest,<br>
|
|
Then away from my sorrow and care,<br>
|
|
Let me fly to the land of the blessed.<br>
|
|
Over there, over there,<br>
|
|
My Savior is now over there,<br>
|
|
Over there, over there,<br>
|
|
My Savior is now over there.</p>
|
|
<p>I’ll soon be at home over there,<br>
|
|
For the end of my journey I see;<br>
|
|
Many dear to my heart, over there,<br>
|
|
Are watching and waiting for me.<br>
|
|
Over there, over there,<br>
|
|
I’ll soon be at home over there,<br>
|
|
Over there, over there,<br>
|
|
I’ll soon be at home over there.</p>
