[Chorus:]
Troubles will be no more on the other shore
Peace and rest
Home at last
When we get over there
When we get over there
[Repeat]
[Verse:]
Oh how happy the day
When I say good bye to the troubles of this life
A city bright and fair
Where the streets are paved with gold
And they never grow old
He promised me a mansion there
Where they'll be no more worries and no more cares
And the joy that we'll share cannot compare
[Chorus]
[Verse]
[Chorus]
Oh what joy
Oh what peace
Oh what happiness
When we get over there
[Repeat]
