Lyrics

There shall be no more tears,
No weep­ing ev­er­more,
But end of earth­ly fears,
On that ce­les­ti­al shore.

Refrain

Over there, may we meet,
Over there, you and I,
All our loved ones to greet,
In the sure by and by.

There shall be no more sighs,
No death nor sick­ness there,
No mourn­ful hea­vy eyes,
Within those man­sions fair.

Refrain

There shall be no more pain,
No moan­ings, nor dis­tress.
With ev­er­last­ing gain,
Shall God His peo­ple bless.
