When this life of ours is o’er
And its cares oppress no more
When no more to us its sorrows it can bring
We each other’s joys may share
In a happy meeting there
Over yonder in the palace of the King.
I will meet you
I will greet you
And forever with the ransomed we shall sing;
Yes I’ll meet you
and I’ll greet you
Over yonder in the palace of the King.
Many friends who’ve gone before
Over on the other shore
Lift their happy voices there His praise to sing;
And they beckon us to come—
Join them in their happy home—
Over yonder in the palace of the King.
O
what happiness ’twill be
When we cross the crystal sea
And the world and all its cares behind us fling;
When we meet our Savior there
And a crown of glory wear
Over yonder in the palace of the King.
