Over on the Golden Shore

lyricist: Laura Newell, 1898
Composer: R. H. Woods

There’s love and peace and joy and rest

Over on the gold­en shore;

The friends are there that we love best

Over on the gold­en shore.

Think of the meet­ing

Over on the gold­en shore;

Picture the greet­ing

Over on the gold­en shore.

Our trea­sures and our hearts are there

Over on the gold­en shore;

Where all is bright and skies are fair

Over on the gold­en shore.

Our dear ones wait

who passed from sight

Over on the gold­en shore;

But there with them we shall unite

Over on the gold­en shore.

They’re safe be­side the Fa­ther’s throne

Over on the gold­en shore;

The Sav­ior claimed them for His own

Over on the gold­en shore.

At home with Christ we soon shall be

Over on the gold­en shore;

And there His beau­ty we shall see

Over on the gold­en shore.

Then loy­al un­to Him who reigns

Over on the gold­en shore;

We’ll praise our king whose love sus­tains

Over on the gold­en shore.
