Lyrics

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 the 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.

Refrain

Water of life there flow­eth,
Fruit in abun­dant store;
Citizens of that coun­try
Hunger and thirst nev­er­more.

Refrain

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