Lyrics

There’s a man­sion bright and fair,
Over where the angels sing;
And the saved are free from care,
Over where the an­gels sing.

Refrain

We will join the glad unit­ed band,
When we reach that hap­py pro­mised land,
And we’ll praise our Lord and king,
Over where the an­gels sing.

There our bless­èd Lord we’ll see,
Over where the an­gels sing;
And with Him for­ev­er be,
Over where the an­gels sing.

Refrain

We are near­ing now that shore,
Over where the an­gels sing;
There to dwell for­ev­er­more,
Over where the angels sing.
