Hymn Lyrics Search - Name That Hymn

I'm looking for an older hymn that begins "They began to form a line..." (and that is all I remember from the beginning).

The chorus has this:

"In the Great Beyond...over in the Land of Eden... (and then I forget some)...What a Hallelujah morning, when we gather over there...I'll be united (then I forget)...forevermore."

Do you know the name of this song? How about its composer? And where could I find the music to it (hymnal, book, online, etc.).

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, as we are looking for this song for a funeral.

1.] DEATH BEGAN TO FORM A LINE TO CROSS THE RIVER WHEN ABEL DIED FROM HIS OWN BROTHER'S HAND; NOW THE STREAM OF MORTAL SOULS HAVE SWELLED OLD JORDAN, PASSING ON THERE IN JUDGMENT TO STAND.

CHO.] IN THAT GREAT BEYOND OVER IN THE LAND OF EDEN I'LL MEET MY FRIENDS WHO LEFT THIS WORLD SO LONG AGO; WHAT A HALLELUJAH MORINING WHEN WE GATHER OVER THERE WE WILL PRAISE OUR BLESSD LORD FOREVER MORE.

2.] I HAVE STOOD BY A FRIEND WHILE THEY WERE DYING, THE HAND OF DEATH WOULD LEAVE THEIR FORM SO COLD AND STILL, OFT I WONDERED WHAT THEY SAW WHILE THEY WERE CROSSING AND WHO THEY MET AT THE TOP OF THE HILL.

3.] 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 OVER POWERED IT, PRAISE HIS NAME THAT HE LIVES EVER MORE.

THE NAME OF THE SONG IS "THE GREAT BEYOND" I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT. I REMEMBER HEARING THIS SONG WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. YOU CAN FIND THESE LYRICS AND MORE ON WWW.CALVINCLARK.COM
GOD BLESS YOU! SHERRY

Sherry,

Thank you so much for this! We have racked our collective brains (and books) looking for the song. Now if I can only find the music to it.

Hi! I love this song!! As a little girl I used to listen to it on an old album by the singing cookes called "Lord It's Just Another Hill" It says the song is written by Roscoe Reed. Dreama

In The Great Beyond




It 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 Ol' Jordan

Passing on there in judgment to stay



In the great Beyond over in the land of Eden

I'll meet my friends who've left this world so long ago

What a hallelujah morning when we gather over there

We will Praise our Blessed Lord evermore.



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.


Chorus"¦"¦

LORD IT'S JUST ANOTHER HILL

I

OFTEN TRIALS AND TROUBLES GATHER ROUND US,
AND IT SEEMS I'M IN THIS VALLEY ALL ALONE.
THEN I FEEL HIS LOVE ENCAMPED AROUND ME
AND SOMEDAY I KNOW I'M GOING HOME.

II

SOMETIMES A HILL SEEMS A LITTLE HIGHER
AND I FEEL I WILL NEVER SEE HIS FACE.
EVERY RIVER SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE WIDER
BUT BY THE HELP OF THE LORD I'LL WIN THIS RACE.

CHORUS

LORD IT'S JUST ANOTHER HILL THAT I'M CLIMBING
LORD IT'S JUST ANOTHER TEAR TO WIPE AWAY.
IF I CAN JUST HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER
I'LL BE REJOICING IN HEAVEN SOMEDAY.

I'm looking for a song "Just another Hill"
the first verse goes
often troubles and trials gather round me
and it seems I'm in this valley all alone
then I take one more look at Mt. Calvary
And it gives me the strength to go on.

i have an MP3 of these songs if you like email me

This song was indeed written by Brother Roscoe Reed, my father, A.R. (HAWK) Hawkins, best friend. I miss them both as they are now both over in the land of eden. If any of Brother Roscoe's children read this, truly wish we all could re-connect. Dad has been gone since 1984 and I miss their old time type of singing. It was and still is the best. Brother Roscoe spent many a day in our home with Dad playing the piano and them singing those precious old songs about our Saviour.
