Verse 1

Farther on, what joys await us, In the palace of our King! Looking up, with hearts expectant, Of the future we may sing.

Chorus

Farther on, the way grows brighter:— Father on, the light grows clear;— We shall see, with perfect vision, What is dimly mirrored here.

Verse 2

Hopes may fail, and joys elude us, Treasures flutter from our hold; Farther on, where faith is pointing, Lies the land of bliss untold.

Chorus

Farther on, the way grows brighter:— Father on, the light grows clear;— We shall see, with perfect vision, What is dimly mirrored here.

Verse 3

Thro’ the darkest night of sorrow, If the soul on Christ be stayed; Shines afar, a bright tomorrow; Where the light shall never fade.

Chorus

Farther on, the way grows brighter:— Father on, the light grows clear;— We shall see, with perfect vision, What is dimly mirrored here.

Verse 4

Thro’ the wintry storms of trouble, Faith discerns yon country blest; Where abides eternal springtime, Love and joy and peace and rest.

Chorus

Farther on, the way grows brighter:— Father on, the light grows clear;— We shall see, with perfect vision, What is dimly mirrored here.
