Author: F. J. Crosby Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Far, far beyond the storms that gather Refrain First Line: There shall be sorrow, pain, and parting Lyrics: 1 Far, far beyond the storms that gather
Dark o’er our way.
There shines the light of joy eternal
Bright in the realms of day,
Refrain:
There shall be sorrow, pain, and parting
Grieve our hearts no more;
Soon, soon we’ll meet beyond the river,
Safe on the Homeland shore.
2 Far, far beyond rolling billows
Faith spreads her wings;
Love tells us of the golden City,
Hope of its glory sings. [Refrain]
3 Far, far beyond the vale and shadow
Loved ones have passed;
We’ll meet them in the “many mansions,”
All gathered home at last. [Refrain]
4 O blessed morn of joy unbounded!
O glorious day!
There every tear of grief and anguish
Jesus shall wipe away. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven; Resurrection Used With Tune: [Far, far beyond the storms that gather]
