Farther On

Lyrics

Dark and stormy is the desert,
Thro’ which pilgrims make their way,
Just beyond this vale of sorrow,
Lies the fields of endless day.

Chorus:

Farther on, but how much farther?
Count the milestones one by one,
Jesus will forsake us never,
It is better farther on.

There on flow’ry hills of pleasure,
Lie the fields of endless rest;
Love and joy peace forever,
Reign and triumph in each breast.

(Chorus)
