Beyond the Hills

Verse 1

Beyond the hills where suns go down, And brightly beckon as they go, I see the land of great renown, The land which I so soon shall know.

Chorus

There’ll be resting by and by, In that summerland of song; Love will fill all hearts with joy, Where you and I shall meet ere long.

Verse 2

Above the dissonance of team, And discord of its angry words; I hear the everlasting chime, The music of unjarring chords.

Verse 3

I bid it welcome, and my haste To join it cannot brook delay; O song of morning, come at last! And ye who sing it, come way!

Verse 4

O song of light, and dawn, and bliss, Sound over earth and fill the skies! Sound forth, nor ever, ever cease The soul entrancing melodies!
