Hymn Chords

431. Over Yonder

A                   Esus  E7
Come let us sing of home- land,

E           E7      A
Down by the crystal sea;

D         E7         A
Wonderful land where Jesus

E7         B7          E  E7
Buildeth a mansion for me.

A    D   A                        E7
Over yon-der, down by the crystal sea,

E7           A                    D  A
Over yonder, there’s where I long to be,

A       D   A    C#               F#m
No more sor-row, toil, grief, nor care,

       D        G#         A
In the homeland bright and fair,

D  A    C E7  A  D  A
O- ver, o-ver there.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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,
down by the crystal sea,
Over yonder, there’s where I long to be,
There’s where I long to be,
No more sorrow, toil, grief, nor care,
In the homeland bright and fair,
Over, over there.
Over there.

[Verse 2]
Water of life there floweth,
Fruit in abundant store;
Citizens of that country
Hunger and thirst never more.

[Verse 3]
Come go with me to homeland,
Jesus invites you there;
Help spread the invitation,
Tell it to men everywhere.
