|
<p>Oh to be over yonder,<br>
|
|
In that bright land of wonder,<br>
|
|
Where the angel voices mingle, and<br>
|
|
The angel harps do ring!<br>
|
|
To be free from care and sorrow,<br>
|
|
And the anxious dread tomorrow,<br>
|
|
To rest in light and sunshine in<br>
|
|
The presence of the King!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Oh to be over yonder!<br>
|
|
In that land of wonder,<br>
|
|
There to be forever<br>
|
|
In the presence of the King!</p>
|
|
<p>Oh to be over yonder!<br>
|
|
My longing heart grows fonder<br>
|
|
Of looking to the far off east,<br>
|
|
To see the daystar bring<br>
|
|
Some tidings of th’awaking—<br>
|
|
Of the cloudless, pure day breaking,<br>
|
|
My heart is yearning—yearning for<br>
|
|
The coming of the King!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Oh to be over yonder!<br>
|
|
Alas! I sigh and ponder—<br>
|
|
Why clings this poor, weak heart of mine<br>
|
|
To any earthly thing?<br>
|
|
For each earthly tie must sever,<br>
|
|
And pass away forever:<br>
|
|
There’s no more separation in<br>
|
|
The presence of the King!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>O when shall I be dwelling<br>
|
|
Where angel voices, swelling<br>
|
|
In triumphant hallelujahs, make<br>
|
|
The vaulted heavens ring—<br>
|
|
Where the pearly gates are gleaming,<br>
|
|
And the Morning Star is beaming?<br>
|
|
O when shall I be yonder in<br>
|
|
The presence of the King?</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Oh, when shall I be yonder?<br>
|
|
The longing groweth stronger<br>
|
|
To join in all the praises the<br>
|
|
Redeemèd ones do sing.<br>
|
|
Within those heavenly places,<br>
|
|
Where the angels veil their faces,<br>
|
|
In awe and adoration, in<br>
|
|
The presence of the King!</p>
|
|
