Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping { Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping BEYOND THE SMILING-George Coles Stebbins BEYOND-N/A Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping } Beyond the smiling and the weeping, I shall be soon, I shall be soon; Beyond the waking and the sleeping, Beyond the sowing and the reaping, I shall be soon, I shall be soon. Chorus Love rest and home! Sweet, sweet home! Lord, tarry not, Lord, tarry not, but come. Beyond the blooming and the fading, I shall be soon, I shall be soon; Beyond the shining and the shading, Beyond the hoping and the dreading, I shall be soon, I shall be soon. Beyond the parting and the meeting, I shall be soon, I shall be soon; Beyond the farewell and the greeting, Beyond the pulse's fever beating I shall be soon, I shall be soon. Beyond the frostchain and the fever, I shall be soon, I shall be soon; Beyond the rockwaste and the river, Beyond the ever and the never, I shall be soon, I shall be soon.
