Far beyond the losses darkening this,
And far beyond the taking and the bereaving,
Lies the summer-land of bliss.

Land beyond, so fair and bright!
Land beyond where is no night!
Summer-land, God is its Light,
O happy summer-land of bliss!

Far beyond the shadows darkening this,
And far beyond the sighing, moaning and weeping,
Lies the summer-land of bliss. [Refrain]

Far beyond the sorrows darkening this,
And far beyond the pain and sickness and dying
Lies the summer-land of bliss. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Eternal Home Scripture: Revelation 21:23 Languages: English Tune Title: [Beyond this land of parting, losing and leaving]
