Over Yonder (De Fluiter)

Composer: Henry de Fluiter, 1918

Come let us sing of home­land

Down by the crys­tal sea;

Wonderful land where Je­sus

Buildeth a man­sion for me.

Over yon­der

down by the crys­tal sea

Over yon­der

there’s where I long to be

No more sor­row

toil

grief nor care

In the home­land bright and fair

Over

over there.

There is a won­drous ci­ty

Streets of trans­par­ent gold;

Not half its glo­ri­ous beauty

Has e’er to mor­tals been told.

Water of life there flow­eth

Fruit in abun­dant store;

Citizens of that coun­try

Hunger and thirst nev­er­more.

Come go with me to home­land

Jesus in­vites you there;

Help spread the in­vi­ta­tion

Tell it to men ev­ery­where.
