43. 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 feast of joy is flowing
In the valley green and fair,
We shall dwell in love together;
There will be no parting there.

Chorus:
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 the bird.
With the rosy light of morning,
On the calm and fragrant air,
Still it murmurs, softly murmurs,
There will be no parting there. [Chorus]

3 We are going, we are going,
When the day of 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. [Chorus]
