It is better farther on

Author: Grant Colfax Tullar Hymnal: The Kingdom of Praise #34 (1920) First Line: Shadows may gather around me Refrain First Line: Farther on, farther on Lyrics: 1 Shadows may gather around me, As on my journey I go, Yet they can never confound me, Sunshine will come soon, I know. Brighter the journey is growing, Glory-lights shine on my way, Faith in the morrow Will banish each sorrow, By night or day. Refrain: Farther on, Farther on, Yes, the way is growing brighter, It is better farther on. Farther on, Farther on, Burdens all are growing lighter, It is better farther on. 2 Some day the storm-clouds will lighten, Tempests around me will cease, Rainbows my skies then will brighten, Flooding my pathway with peace. Then in my heart will be gladness, Unceasing praises shall roll, Brighter the dawning Of ev’ry new morning Which greets my soul. [Refrain] 3 Upward and onward I’m pressing, Happy each step of the way, Trials are never distressing, Nothing my soul can dismay; Knowing each step of my journey Better and brighter will be, Clouds all are rifted, Life’s burdens are lifted, I’m glad and free. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Shadows may gather around me]
