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

Everybody will be happy
(Everybody will be happy, will be happy over there)
Everybody will be happy over there (over there)
We will shout and sing His praises
Through the never ending ages
Everybody will be happy over there

Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers will be singing round the throne
In that land where no one ever knows a care
And the Christians of all ages will join in the triumph song
Everybody will be happy over there

Everybody will be happy
(Everybody will be happy, will be happy over there)
Everybody will be happy over there (over there)
We will shout and sing His praises
Through the never ending ages
Everybody will be happy over there

We will hear nobody praying and no mourning in that land
For no burden there will be for us to bear
All the people will be singing glory glory to the lamb
Everybody will be happy over there

Everybody will be happy
(Everybody will be happy, will be happy over there)
Everybody will be happy over there (over there)
We will shout and sing His praises
Through the never ending ages
Everybody will be happy over there

There 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

Everybody will be happy
(Everybody will be happy, will be happy over there)
Everybody will be happy over there (over there)
We will shout and sing His praises
Through the never ending ages
Everybody will be happy over there
We will shout and sing His praises
Through the never ending ages
Everybody will be happy over there
