Lyrics

Although our lives be filled with bliss,
With floods of joy and hap­pi­ness,
There’ll be a bright­er world than this,
After all, af­ter all.
After all, af­ter all,
There’ll be a bright­er world than this,
After all, af­ter all.

Our earth­ly joys shall pass away,
Just like the fleet­ing of a day,
But we with Christ shall live for aye,
After all, af­ter all.
After all, af­ter all,
But we with Christ shall live for aye,
After all, af­ter all.

Tho’ oft in sor­row we be cast,
Trust Christ our Lord, it can­not last,
For in yon clime ’twill all be past,
After all, af­ter all.
After all, af­ter all,
For in yon clime ’twill all be past,
After all, af­ter all.

The dark­est night shall turn to day,
And sor­row’s clouds shall pass away;
With Christ we’ll live an end­less day,
After all, af­ter all.
After all, af­ter all,
With Christ we’ll live an end­less day,
After all, af­ter all.
