And I have fathers gone to view that land,
To view that land, to view that land;
And I have fathers gone to view that land
And sing that cheering song.

Chorus: Away over yonder
On the other side of Jordan,
Away over yonder
To sing that cheering song.

I hope some day to view that land,
To view that land, to view that land.
Now I hope some day to view that land
And sing that cheering song.

(Chorus)
