 No. 82.

Oh, way over Jordan, View the land, view the land, Way over Jordan, Oh, view the heav'nly land.

1. I want to go to heaven when I die! View the land, view the land; To shout salvation as I fly, Oh, view the heav'nly land.

2. Old Satan's mad, and I am glad, View the land, view the land; He miss'd that soul he thought he had, O view the heav'nly land. Oh, way over Jordan, &c.

3. You say you're aiming for the skies, View the land, view the land; Why don't you stop your telling lies? O view the heav'nly land. Oh, way over Jordan, &c.

4. You say your Lord has set you free, View the land, view the land; Why don't you let your neighbours be? O view the heav'nly land. Oh, way over Jordan, &c.
