Beyond the Blue

Beyond the blue

Far above the pass­ing gloom

A coun­try im­mor­tal ap­pears

Where ros­es blush

And the sweet­est li­lies bloom

And our Fa­ther wipes away all tears.

In that fair land

full of beau­ty

joy and light

Will ga­ther a num­ber­less throng

Now press­ing on

thro’ the sha­dows of the night

Till they hear the ov­er­com­er’s song.

Land of gold­en beau­ty! O land of cloud­less day!

Beyond the blue

here the sweet­est li­lies bloom

And the an­gels whis­per

Come away.

The day will break

When the storms of life shall cease

And summer shall smile ev­er­more;

We’ll find sweet rest

In that land of per­fect peace

In the man­sions on the fade­less shore.

Our loved ones there for our com­ing fond­ly wait

While joy­ful­ly serving the King;

Some day we’ll meet by the shin­ing pear­ly gate

And to­ge­ther hap­py prais­es sing.

Beyond the blue

There’s a home for you and me

For Je­sus will wel­come us there;

His cross our hope

And His pre­cious blood our plea

And His right­eous­ness our robe so fair.

Then joy all joy

let us faint not by the way

Our tri­als and sor­rows soon pass;

We’ll mount above

to the ev­er­last­ing day

Praising Je­sus by the sea of glass.
