Just over yonder, beyond the river
There is a City of pure delight
Where many loved ones are congregating
With palms of victory in robes of white

Just over yonder (over there), there'll be no heartaches (pain to bear)
No lonely days up there will ever come
There'll be no crying, there'll be no dying
Oh, what rejoicing when we get home

There's nothing here, friend, but disappointment
So often here we are left alone
But over yonder hearts will grow fonder
And separation will never come

Just over yonder (over there), there'll be no heartaches (pain to bear)
No lonely days up there will ever come
There'll be no crying, there'll be no dying
Oh, what rejoicing when we get home

Just over yonder, I'll soon be going,
To see my Savior upon His throne
And hear a welcome ring out through heaven,
Oh, weary pilgrim, this is your home.

Just over yonder (over there), there'll be no heartaches (pain to bear)
No lonely days up there will ever come
There'll be no crying, there'll be no dying
Oh, what rejoicing when we get home

Just over yonder (over there), there'll be no heartaches (pain to bear)
No lonely days up there will ever come
There'll be no crying, there'll be no dying
Oh, what rejoicing when we get home
