Breaking Forever Away

Author: Lizzie Edwards Hymnal: Showers of Blessing #58 (1888) First Line: We sing of the joys that await us Refrain First Line: Nearer, yes, nearer we come Lyrics: 1 We sing of the joys that await us, When victors thro’ Jesus we stand Arrayed in the beautiful garments Laid up in Immanuel’s land; But oh, if our eyes could be opened, That land for a moment to see, Our souls would be lost in its brightness, And long from this world to be free. Refrain: Nearer, yes, nearer we come, Nearer the realms of day; The clouds that hung darkly around us Are breaking forever away. 2 We sing of the harps that are swelling The praise of our Saviour above, And numberless millions in chorus Repeating his wonderful love; But oh, if one chord of their music Could burst on us here as we roam, Our souls in the fulness of rapture Would long for the glory of home. [Refrain] 3 We sing of the friends that are waiting And watching the sound of the oar When anchors our boat in the harbor Where sorrow and tears are no more; But oh, when we step from our moorings, And gaze on that region so fair, We’ll shout “hallelujah to Jesus,” Who brought us so tenderly there. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We sing of the joys that await us]
