| 1 We are looking away from the vale of time, Beyond the sea, the rolling sea, Where the beautiful hills of a purer clime Are blooming for you and for me. Chorus: Press onward, press onward To meet our Saviour there; Press onward, press onward, A robe and crown to wear. Press onward, press onward To meet our Saviour there; Press onward, press onward, A robe and crown to wear. 2 We are passing away like the spring-time flowers And birds that sing on airy wing; But we dream of the splendor of radiant bowers Where music forever shall ring. [Chorus] 3 We are floating away like the clouds of gold That softly rest on evening’s breast; But the portals of joy we shall soon behold, And dwell with the happy and blest. [Chorus] 4 We are gliding away where the morning light Shall break and rise o’er cloudless skies, While its glories shall banish the shades of night, And fill us with joyful surprise. [Chorus] | Melodious Sonnets #26 (1885) Living Hymns: for use in the Sabbath School, Christian Endeavor Meetings, the church & home #167 (1890) |
