The Beautiful Time to Come

1 There’s a beautiful time to come,
To the weary of heart and sad,
When the feet at the riverside
Shall be staid at the eventide,
And the burdens laid aside,
In the beautiful time to come.

Refrain:
In the beautiful time,
In the beautiful time,
In the beautiful time to come;
We shall rest alway, thro’ eternal day,
In the beautiful time to come.

2 In the beautiful time to come,
There is fullness of joy in store,
When each sorrow shall pass away
As the mist at the opening day,
And ours songs be heard for aye,
In the beautiful time to come. [Refrain]

3 In the beautiful time to come,
The time of the gath’ring home,
When the tears shall fall no more
From the eyes that wept of yore,
And the feet shall press that shore,
In the beautiful time to come. [Refrain]

4 O the beautiful time to come!
The time by the seers foretold,
When the loved shall meet once more,
When we hear the bending oar,
And cross to the other shore,
In the beautiful time to come. [Refrain]
