The Morning Star ‎#48

48. Just beyond

1 Just beyond the care and strife,
Just beyond, just beyond,
Rise the golden hills of life;
Just beyond, just beyond.
Pains and sighing soon will cease,
Welcome we the sweet release;

Chorus:
Welcome we the dawn of peace,
Just beyond, just beyond.

2 Just beyond this weary way,
Just beyond, just beyond,
Riseth one unclouded day;
Just beyond, just beyond,
Weary souls by care oppressed,
Soon you'll enter into rest,

Chorus:
Swell the army of the blest,
Just beyond, just beyond.

3 Just beyond, though seeming far,
Just beyond, just beyond,
Though our trials heavy are,
Just beyond, just beyond.
Many mansions waiting stand,
Nearing now the silver strand;

Chorus:
Soon we'll reach the better land,
Just beyond, just beyond.
