LyicsBEYOND this land of parting, losing, and leaving,
Far beyond the losses, darkening this,
And far beyond the taking and the bereaving,
Lies the Summer land of bliss.--REF.
Refrain.--Land beyond, so fair and bright!
Land beyond, where is no night!
Summer land, God is its Light,
O happy 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.
