Original lyrics
ENVerse 1:
Living in this world there is pain, grief, and strife,
but they tell me of a home of a much better life.
No more heartaches or tears, I'll cry no more,
only joy everlasting when I reach the other shore.
Chorus
In this Christian home of glory
there remains a land of rest,
where my Savior's gone before me
to fulfill my soul's request.
He is fixing up my mansion,
where eternal life I'll stand,
and He's going to take me
to that holy, happy land.
Verse 2:
Living in this world there is pain, grief, and strife,
but they tell me of a home on the other side.
No more heartaches or tears, I'll cry no more,
only joy everlasting when I reach the other shore.
Chorus
Vamp:
There is rest for the weary
on the other side of Jordan.
There is rest for the weary
on the other side.
