BEYOND THIS LAND OF PARTING-Asa Brooks Everett
Beyond This Land of Parting
(or Beyond This Land of Parting, Losing and Leavi
ng)
}
Beyond this land of parting, losing and leaving,
Far beyond the losses darkening this,
And far beyond the taking and the bereaving
Lies the summerland 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 the summerland of bliss.
Beyond this land of waiting, seeking and sighing
,
Far beyond the sorrows darkening this,
And far beyond the pain and sickness and dying
Lies the summerland of bliss.
Chorus Land beyond, so fair and bright!
Land beyond where is no night!
Summerland, God is its Light,
O happy summerland of bliss!
