I’ve a home prepared where the saints abide, Just over in the gloryland; And I long to be by my Savior’s side, Just over in the gloryland.Refrain: Just over in the gloryland, I’ll join the happy angel band, Just over in the gloryland; Just over in the gloryland, There with the mighty host I’ll stand, Just over in the gloryland.2. I am on my way to those mansions fair, Just over in the gloryland; There to sing God’s praise and His glory share, Just over in the gloryland.3. What a joyful thought that my Lord I’ll see, Just over in the gloryland; And with kindred saved, there forever be, Just over in the gloryland.4. With the bloodwashed throng I will shout and sing, Just over in the gloryland; Glad hosannas to Christ, the Lord and King, Just over in the gloryland.
