There's a happy land of promise over in the great beyond,
Where the saved of earth shall soon the glory share;
Where the souls of men shall enter and live on forever more,
Everybody will be happy over there!

Chorus:
(everybody will be happy, will be happy over there)
Everybody will be happy,
Will be happy over there;
(we will shout and sing his praises through the never-ending ages)
We will shout and sing his praise,
Everybody will be happy over there!

There the ransomed of all ages will be singing 'round the throne,
In that land where no one ever knows a care;
And the christians of all nations will join in the triumph song,
Everybody will be happy over there.

Repeat chorus

We'll meet the one who saved us and who kept us by his grace,
And who brought us to that land so bright and fair!
We will praise his name forever as we look upon his face,
Everybody will be happy over there!

Repeat chorus (x2)
