Faith Discerns A Country

Author: Jennie Wilson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9968 First Line: Faith discerns a country brighter than day Refrain First Line: Over there! Over there! When my work here is done Lyrics: 1 Faith discerns a country brighter than day, It is free from earthly sorrow and care; With my journey ended and my battle won, I shall rest in mansions built over there. Refrain: Over there! Over there! When my work here is done, I shall go to that land so beautiful and fair; Over there! Over there! O I long for the joy And the peace of the home over there. 2 Just beyond the river flowing so still Through the shadows veiling time’s solemn shore, Lies the land eternal where redeemed ones dwell, And where blight of evil comes nevermore. [Refrain] 3 In the light that shineth there from the face Of the blessèd Savior I shall abide; Through the endless ages saved by His shed blood, I shall in His presence be satisfied. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Faith discerns a country brighter than day]
