Summer Land

Verse 1

Beyond this land of parting, losing and leaving, Far beyond the losses darkening this, And far beyond the taking and the bereaving, Lies the summer-land of bliss.

Chorus

Land beyond, so fair and bright! Land beyond where is no night! Summer-land, God is its Light, O happy summer-land of bliss!

Verse 2

Beyond this land of toiling, sowing and reaping, Far beyond the shadows darkening this, And far beyond the sighing, moaning and weeping, Lies the summer-land of bliss.

Verse 3

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 summer-land of bliss.
