"'Tis Better Higher Up"
Author: Rev. G. W. Crofts Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 2 #207 (1890) First Line: This world is full of care Refrain First Line: 'Tis better higher up Lyrics: 1 This world is full of care,
And bitter is life's cup
The cross is sometimes hard to bear,
"'Tis better higher up."
Chorus:
'Tis better higher up,
'Tis better higher up,
Where all is light, and peace, and joy,
"'Tis better higher up."
2 I've seen my hopes decay
Like blossoms in the Spring;
My dearest friends have passed away,
Earth's treasures taken wing. [Chorus]
3 The storms of death have blown,
But Christ, my blessed hope,
His tender love to me hath shown,
"'Tis better higher up." [Chorus]
4 My flesh must fail, I know,
And yet I can not grieve;
The spirit tells me I must go
With Christ my Lord to live. [Chorus]
5 And in my home above
On joy divine I'll sup,
And rest in God's eternal love;
"'Tis better higher up." [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [This world is full of care]
