The Bright Array ‎#86

86. Home Beyond the Skies

1 We are going, we are going,
To a home beyond the skies,
Where the fields are robed in beauty,
And the sunlight never dies;
Where the fount of joy is flowing
In the valley green and fair,
We shall dwell in love together;
There will be no parting there.

Refrain:
We are going, we are going
To a home beyond the skies,
Where the fields are robed in beauty,
And the sunlight never dies.

2 We are going, we are going,
And the music we have heard
Like the echo of the woodland,
Or the carol of a bird;
With the rosy light of morning
On the calm and fragrant air,
Still it murmurs, softly murmurs,
There will be no parting there. [Refrain]

3 We are going, we are going,
When this mortal life is o’er,
To that pure and happy region
Where our friends have gone before;
They are singing with the angels
In that land so bright and fair;
We shall dwell with them forever;
There will be no parting there. [Refrain]
