Come let us sing of homeland, Down by the crystal sea; Wonderful land where Jesus Buildeth a mansion for me.
Refrain: Over yonder, Down by the crystal sea, Over yonder, There’s where I long to be; No more sorrow, toil, grief, nor care, In that homeland bright and fair, Over, over there.
There is a wondrous city, Streets of transparent gold; Not half its glorious beauty Has e’er to mortals been told.
Water of life there floweth, Fruit in abundant store; Citizens of that country Hunger and thirst nevermore.
Come go with me to homeland, Jesus invites you there; Help spread the invitation, Tell it to men everywhere.
