The Land Immortal

Author: Aldine S. Kieffer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #19384 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Far beyond life’s gloomy portals Refrain First Line: Forward, then, with brave endeavor Lyrics: 1 Far beyond life’s gloomy portals, Far beyond earth’s clouds and night; Lies the land of bright immortals, Bathed in living, shining light. Refrain: Forward, then, with brave endeavor; Forward, it can not be long Till the soul shall rest forever In the land of love and song. 2 To that land my feet are wending, Thro’ the dark and dreary day; But my soul ofttimes is blending With a song that cheers the way. [Refrain] 3 Patient be, O heart so lowly; Patient be, O soul so sad! In the end thou shalt find only Joy, peace, love to make thee glad. [Refrain] 4 For the hand of Christ is leading Thee thro’ all this border land; And thy feet, tho’ bruised and bleeding, Soon will touch the shining strand. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: BÖBLINGEN
