Tune: | [There's a better world than this] |
Composer: | F. A. Blackmer |
1. There's a better world than this,
Just over yonder;
Just beyond the dark abyss,
Just over yonder.
There are fields of living green,
There decay no more is seen;
Skies unclouded, all serene,
Just over yonder.
2. There is hope for the opprest,
Just over yonder;
There is joy for the distrest,
Just over yonder.
Grief shall there be felt no more,
Days of weeping all are o'er;
Shadowless immortal shore,
Just over yonder.
3. We shall meet the loved ones gone,
Just over yonder;
There sweet faces look upon,
Just over yonder.
We shall greet them as of yore,
They will love us as before;
We shall part from them no more,
Just over yonder.
4. But most wondrous! I shall see,
Just over yonder,
Him who gave His life for me,
Just over yonder.
Bleeding then on Calvary;
Interceding now for me;
Blessed hope, with Christ to be,
Just over yonder.
