LyicsBeyond this land of parting, los-ing and leaving,
Far be-yond the loss-es, dark-en-ing this,
And far be-yond the tak-ing and the be-reav-ing
Lies the summer-land of bliss.
REF.- Land be-yond, so fair and bright!
Land be-yond, where is no night!
Summer land, God is its Light,
O hap-py summer-land of bliss!
Beyond this land of toiling, sowing, and reaping,
Far beyond the shadows, darkening this,
And far beyond the sighing, moaning, and weeping,
Lies the summer-land of bliss.-REF.
Beyond this land of sinning, fainting, and falling,
Far beyond the doubtings, darkening this,
And far beyond the griefs and dangers befalling,
Lies the summer-land of bliss.-REF.
Beyond this land of waiting, seeking, and sighing,
Far beyond the sorrows, darkening this,
And far beyond the pain and sickness and dying,
Lies the summer-land of bliss.-REF.
