Lyrics and Chords

[1] I've a home prepared where the [4] saints [1] abide
Over in the glory [5] land
I [1] long to be by my [4] Savior's [1] side
Over in the [5] glory [1] land

[1] Just over in the glory land
I'll [4] join (yes join) the happy angel [1] band
Over in the glory [5] land
Just [1] over in the glory land
There [4] with (yes with) the mighty host I'll [1] stand
Over in the [5] glory [1] land

I'm on my way to those mansions fair
Over in the glory land
There to sing God's praise and his glory share
Over in the glory land

What a joyful thought that my Lord I'll see
Over in the glory land
And with kindred saved there forever I'll be
Over in the glory land
