We're going home to glory soon,
To see the City bright,
To walk the golden streets of Heaven,
And bask in God's own light;
But some of you are out of Christ,
And held by many a snare,—
We cannot leave you lost and lone,
We want you Over There!
The pearly gates will open wide,
And we shall enter in,
To know henceforth no tear or sigh
No sorrow and no sin;
O come with us by Jesus' blood,
That land is bright and fair,—
We cannot leave you lost and lone,
We want you Over There!
We come to tell the story true
Of love so rich and free,
A crucified and loving Lord
Has grace for you and me:
O, listen to His loving voice,
O part with sin and care,—
We cannot leave you lost and lone,
We want you Over There
We know the time is fleeting fast,
The Lord is near at hand,
O sinner seek the ark of grace,
Its doors wide open stand;
Christ will not always waiting be,
To trifle do not dare,—
We cannot leave you lost and lone,
We want you Over There!
