Is it far?

Author: Knowles Shaw Hymnal: The Morning Star #62 (1877) First Line: Is it far to the land of rest? Refrain First Line: Is it far? Is it far? Lyrics: 1 Is it far to the land of rest? Where the weary feet shall never, never roam, To the mansions of the pure and the blest; Where we all shall meet at home. Chorus: Is it far? Is it far? Will you tell me, brother pilgrim, is it far? To that mansion of the blest, where the weary are at rest, O say, brother pilgrim, is it far? 2 Is it far to that peaceful shore? Where the aching heart shall sorrow not again, Where the friends who meet shall part never more; But with Christ forever reign. [Chorus] 3 Is it far to the plains of light? To that city with its jasper walls aglow, Where the glory of the Lord is the light; To that home say will you go? [Chorus] 4 It is nearer to-day than before; And our path is growing brighter day by day; We shall soon reach that heavenly shore; Let us sing, and watch, and pray. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Is it far to the land of rest?]
