1 We are going to abide
With the happy glorified,
When we reach that land of Canaan by and by;
Where no weeping we shall see,
For no sorrow there can be,
Yes, the glory of that country we shall try!

Chorus:
On the other side, on the other side,
Yes, the glory of that country we shall try!
On the other side, on the other side,
There will be a happy meeting by and by!

2 We are walking ev'ry day
In the holy, heav'nly way,
With the Spirit of our Savior ever nigh;
And no evil thing we fear,
As we onward journey here
Tow'rd that home by Jesus promised there on high! [Chorus]

3 We will ever watch and pray,
And keep working ev'ry day,
Telling sinners that this glory they may share;
If our story they'll believe,
They salvation shall receive,
And be happy in the army going there! [Chorus]

4 'Tis a lasting peace and rest,
Thro' our Savior's righteousness,
We are seeking to inherit by and by;
Where we ever shall abide
With the millions glorified,
In that country we are going soon to try! [Chorus]
