You may sing of the joys over Jordan

1 You may sing of the joys over Jordan
And the glories prepared for our sight,
But the soldier of Jesus rejoices
On the way to that city of light.

Refrain:
Wonderful is the peace Jesus gives me,
Wonderful is his power full and free;
No tongue can e’er express all the glories I possess;
Wonderful is the peace Jesus gives me.

2 You may talk of the harps of the angels,
Of melodious praises they sing,
But my heart’s filled with heavenly music
While I’m marching to meet the great King.

3 You may long for the robes bright and shining,
And the song, and the crown, and the palm;
But your heart must be kept pure and spotless
If you’d join in the song of the Lamb.

4 Would you reign with the King in his beauty?
In his cross-bearing now you must share;
For none but the soul who has conquered
May dwell in that land over there.
