Often on this earth we suffer sickness, grief and woe

1 Often on this earth we suffer sickness, grief and woe;
Trials may oppress us and the storm-clouds hover low;
But this tho’t remaineth:
He that overcometh,
Soon to that bright Glory Land will go.

Refrain:
Over in glory we’ll not shed a tear;
No disappointment, no heartache, no fear;
Singing and shouting glad praises, O how grand!
Living forever in the Glory-Land.

2 Friend, when you’re discouraged and the way seems rough and hard,
Don’t give up the struggle, just look up and trust the Lord;
Spread the Gospel story,
Some day up in glory
You’ll be glad you trusted in His Word. [Refrain]

3 Soon our Lord will come to catch His waiting Bride away;
No more sickness, no more sin, in that eternal day;
Worshiping forever
Christ our only Saviour,
Singing round the throne thru endless day. [Refrain]
