Over There

Author: Ada Blenkhorn Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: There's a city, shining white Lyrics: 1 There’s a city, shining white, Built upon the plains of light, ‘Tis the palace of the King bright and fair; Grief and pain shall pass away, In that place of perfect day, Sin and sorrow cannot enter there. Refrain: Over there, Over there, In the land of endless joy where the angels sing; Over there, Over there, In the glorious palace of the King. 2 When I reach the golden gate Leading to this grand estate, Opened wide by angel hands it will be; I shall enter into rest, With the happy and the blest, ‘Mid their glorious songs of victory. [Refrain] 3 There my Saviour I shall see, In His holy likeness be; Garments whiter than the snow I shall wear; I shall sing the glad new song, With the countless, ransomed throng; In the glory of my Lord I’ll share. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Scripture: Revelation 21:1 Used With Tune: [There's a city, shining white]
