It Is Better Farther On

Hymnal: Calvary Songs #96 (1875) First Line: Hope is singing, singing sweetly Lyrics: 1 Hope is singing, singing sweetly, Softly in an under tone, Singing as if God had taught it "It is better farther on," Singing as if God had taught it, "It is better farther on." Refrain: It is better farther on, It is better farther on, Sweetly whispers Hope, "It's better farther on," Then with Jesus and the blest We shall ever be at rest, We shall ever be at rest farther on. 2 Night and day it singeth sweetly, Singeth while I sit alone; Singeth so the heart may hear it, "It is better farther on," Singeth so the heart may hear it, "It is better farther on." [Refrain] 3 Farther on, oh, how much farther? Count the mile-stones one by one? No! no counting, only trusting, "It is better farther on," No! no counting, only trusting, "It is better farther on." [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Hope is singing, singing sweetly]

Hymnal: The Morning Star #74 (1877) First Line: Hope is singing, sweetly singing Refrain First Line: Further on, further on Lyrics: 1 Hope is singing, sweetly singing; Singing in an undertone; Singing as if God had taught it, "It is better further on." Chorus: Further on, further on, "It is better further on." Oh, my soul doth sing with rapture, "It is better further on!" 2 Night and day it sings the same song, Sings it while I sit alone; Sings it so the heart would hear it, "It is better further on." [Chorus] 3 Sit upon the grave and sings it, Sings it when the heart would groan; Sings it when the shadows darken, "It is better further on." [Chorus] 4 Further on--but how much further? Count the mile-stones one by one? No, not counting--only trusting, "It is better further on." [Chorus] 5 Beyond the vale, beyond the shadows, Shines the everlasting sun; Walk by faith amid the darkness; "It is better further on."
