Just Over in the Glory Land

 

1

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.

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.

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.

Revelation 7:13-14

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Revelation 5:11-13

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

John 12:12-13

On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
