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.
