16501. There’s a hap­py land of pro­mise ov­er in the great be­yond

1 There’s a hap­py land of pro­mise ov­er in the great be­yond,
Where the saved of earth shall soon the glo­ry share;
Where the souls of men shall en­ter and live on for­ev­er­more,
Everybody will be hap­py ov­er there.

Refrain:
Everybody will be hap­py, will be hap­py ov­er there,
We will shout and sing His prais­es,
Everybody will be hap­py ov­er there.

2 Mothers, fa­thers, sis­ters, bro­thers will be sing­ing ’round the throne,
In that land where no one ev­er knows a care;
And the Christians of all ag­es will join in the triumph song,
Everybody will be hap­py ov­er there. [Refrain]

3 We will hear no­bo­dy pray­ing, and no mourn­ing in that land,
For no bur­dens there will be for us to bear;
All the people will be sing­ing "Glo­ry, glo­ry to the Lamb,"
Everybody will be hap­py ov­er there. [Refrain]

4 There we’ll meet the One who saved us and who kept us by His grace,
And who brought us to that land so bright and fair;
We will praise His name for­ev­er as we look up­on His face,
Everybody will be hap­py ov­er there. [Refrain]
