Just Beyond

Author: Mrs. E. Z. Harris Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #109 (1902) First Line: Just beyond life's weary labor Lyrics: 1 Just beyond life's weary labor, Just beyond this world of care, Lies a fair and wondrous city Which the faithful all may share. In that blest and happy country Shall be heard no voice of woe And we'll meet our sleeping loved ones, "Loved and lost so long ago." 2 There the flow'rs are fadeless ever, There the gentle breezes blow; There we'll rest from toils and trials Where life's waters softly flow. Just beyond are crowns of glory, Harps of gold and robes of white. These are waiting for the faithful Where there is no death nor night. 3 Burdened with earth's many sorrows Oft I cry, "How long to wait Till those glories be my portion? When will open life's fair gate?" Angel voices to me whisper, "Soon will earth's dark night be o'er, Soon will come earth's great Deliv'er, Soon we'll rest on that blest shore." Tune Title: [Just beyond life's weary labor]

A. E. Bloom

1868 - 1940 Composer of "[Just beyond life's weary labor]" in The Golden Sheaf Alex E. Bloom (Sweden, 1868--December 15, 1940, Santa Rosa, California). Advent Christian. Having immigrated as a child, he was converted in a Salvation Army service and began preaching soon after his baptism by Advent Christian Elder J. August Smith. He assisted Elder G.W. Sederquist in a series of meetings in the Green Street Tabernacle, Chicago, where he later served as pastor. In addition, he was a member of the Mission Band of the Moody Church of Chicago. After having been licensed for a time, he was ordained by the Advent Christian Conference of Northern Illinois, meeting in Genoa, on March 7, 1892. After a period as an itinerant minister in Wisconsin, he held pastorates in Fairfield, Cobb, Mifflin, Monticello, and LaValle, where he stayed for many years. He was then pastor in Annandale, Minnesota, for eight years; Buchanan, Michigan for seven years; and finally at Blessed Hope Advent Christian Church, Chicago. Thereafter he did evangelistic work in West Virginia, Texas, and Portland, Oregon. His last days were spent in Santa Rosa, California. Bloom wrote many hymns, most of which were published in The Golden Sheaf, No. 1. He was the compiler of Songs of Faith and Hope (Mendota, Ill: Hope Press, 1926). Shortly before his death, he was honored by the Christian Burden Bearers's Society as a prolific author and for this 48 years of gospel ministry. --Moses C. Crouse, DNAH Archives
