Beyond This Land of Parting
(Mary B. Slade and Asa B. Everett)
Beyond this land of parting, losing, and leaving
Far beyond the losses, darkening this,
And far beyond the taking and the bereaving,
Lies a summer land of bliss!
Chorus:
Land beyond, so fair and bright!
Land beyond, where is no night!
Summer land, God is it's light,
Oh, happy summer land of bliss!
Beyond this land of toiling, sowing and reaping,
Far beyond the shadows darkening this,
And far beyond the sighing, moaning, and weeping,
Lies a summerland of bliss!
Repeat Chorus
Beyond this land of waiting, seeking, and sighing,
Far beyond the sorrows darkening this,
And far beyond the pain, and sickness and dying,
Lies a summer land of bliss!
Repeat Chorus
