10. The Home of Endless Years

1 Though burdens heavy we here must bear
And the eyes are made dim with tears,
There'll be naught of sorrow "over there"
In the "home of the endless year."

Chorus:
In the better land, In that sunny land,
In that Eden land, safe by and by;
In that better land, In that sunny land,
In that Eden land, safe by and by.

2 With toilsome effort in faith we sow,
Tho' no harvest our vision cheers;
We will not lose heart, 'twill all be plain,
In the "home of the endless years." [Chorus]

3 We'll labor on with a smile and song,
And we'll give to the winds our fears,
For the day of trials can't be long,
Soon the "home of the endless years." [Chorus]
