Just Over in the Glory Land [core]

I've a home prepared where the saints abide
Just over in the glory land
I long to be by my Savior's side
Just over in the glory land

Chorus
Just over (over) in the glory land
I'll join (yes join) the happy angel band
Over in the glory land
Just over (over) in the glory land
There with (yes with) the mighty host I'll stand
Just over in the glory land

I am on my way to those mansions fair,...
There to sing God's praise and His glory share,...

What a joyful thought that my Lord I'll see,...
And with kindred saved there forever be,...

With the bloodwashed throng I will shout and sing,...
Glad hosannas to Christ, the Lord and King,...
