9. Beyond the Smiling

1 Beyond the smiling and the weeping,
Beyond the waking and the sleeping,
Beyond the sowing and the reaping,
I shall be soon.
I shall be soon.
Love, rest, and Home, sweet Home.

Refrain:
Love, rest, and Home, sweet Home.
Lord, tarry not, Lord, tarry not,
but come, but come.

2 Beyond the blooming and the fading,
Beyond the shining and the shading,
Beyond the hoping and the dreading,
I shall be soon.
I shall be soon.
Love, rest, and Home, sweet Home. [Refrain]

3 Beyond the parting and the meeting,
Beyond the farewell and the greeting,
Beyond the pulse’s fever beating,
I shall be soon.
I shall be soon.
Love, rest, and Home, sweet Home. [Refrain]
