Up Yonder

Representative Text

1 Tho’ our pathway may be dreary,
Yonder there is light;
And a Hand when we are weary,
Reaching through the night.

Refrain:
There are worlds of light up yonder,
There is always light up yonder,
In the darkest night;
There are worlds of light,
If we lift our eyes up yonder.

2 Never then despair or wonder;
Only day by day;
As the darkness drifts asunder,
We shall find our way. [Refrain]

3 One has trod the steps before us,
Marking all the way;
While his watchful care is o’er us,
We need never stray. [Refrain]
