Verse 1

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, down by the crystal sea, Over yonder, there’s where I long to be, There’s where I long to be, No more sorrow, toil, grief, nor care, In the homeland bright and fair, Over, over there. Over there.

Verse 2

Water of life there floweth, Fruit in abundant store; Citizens of that country Hunger and thirst never more.

Verse 3

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