IN THE GREAT BEYOND
(Roscoe Reed)

Death began to form a line to cross the River
When Abel died from his own brother's hand
Now the streams of mortal souls have swelled Jordan
Passing on there in judgment to stay

In the great Beyond over in that land of Eden
I'll meet my friends who left this world so long ago
What a hallelujah morning when we gather over there
We will praise our Blessed Lord forevermore

I have stood by a friend while they were dying
The hand of death would leave their form cold and still
Oft I wondered what they saw while they were crossing
Who they met at the top of the hill

In the great Beyond over in that land of Eden
I'll meet my friends who left this world so long ago
What a hallelujah morning when we gather over there
We will praise our Blessed Lord forevermore

I'm so glad that a Way was made at Calvary
When Jesus died, was laid to rest in the Tomb
In the grave He slept awhile then overpowered it
Praise His name that He lives evermore

In the great Beyond over in that land of Eden
I'll meet my friends who left this world so long ago
What a hallelujah morning when we gather over there
We will praise our Blessed Lord forevermore
