The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#111

111. Is it Far?

1 Is it far to the land of rest,
Where the weary feet shall never, never roam;
To the mansions of the pure and the blest,
Where we all shall meet at home?

Refrain:
Is it far? is it far?
Will you tell me, brother pilgrim, is it far?
To that mansion of the blest,
Where the weary are at rest?
O say, brother pilgrim, is it far?

2 Is it far to that peaceful shore,
Where the aching heart shall sorrow not again;
Where the friends who meet shall part nevermore,
But with Christ forever reign? [Refrain]

3 Is it far to the plains of light,
To that city with its jasper walls aglow,
Where the glory of the Lord is the light?
To that home, say, will you go? [Refrain]
