Lyrics

A home on high is wait­ing me,
Just ov­er the bor­der land;
And there my Sav­ior I shall see,
Just ov­er the bor­der land.

Refrain

Just ov­er the bor­der land,
There waits the home of the soul,
Where praise shall ring
As the years shall roll,
Just ov­er the bor­der land.

My loved ones there will wel­come me,
Just ov­er the bor­der land;
And with them soon I’ll ever be,
Just ov­er the bor­der land.

Refrain

My Sav­ior there is call­ing me,
Just ov­er the bor­der land;
And by His grace will make me free,
Just ov­er the bor­der land.

Refrain

The smiles of God will fall on me,
Just ov­er the bor­der land;
And bless me thro’ eter­ni­ty,
Just ov­er the bor­der land.
