Beyond life’s rag­ing fe­ver,
Beyond life’s trou­bled dream;
Beyond death’s surg­ing ri­ver,
Beyond that sull­en stream,

Refrain

The saint shall dwell in glo­ry,
In beau­ty fad­ing not;
Oh! Pil­grim, are you pray­ing,
That this may be your lot?

Beyond this land of sigh­ing,
Where count­less tears are shed,
Beyond the sick and dy­ing,
Beyond the mol­der­ing dead,

Refrain

Beyond this scene of trial,
Where heart and flesh do fail;
Beyond the dark­en­ing sha­dows,
Beyond the gloo­my vale,

Refrain

Beyond the thought of griev­ing,
A kind and gra­cious God;
Beyond the fear of sin­ning,
Beyond the chast­en­ing rod,

Refrain

Beyond Earth’s wea­ry bur­den,
The cross, the scourge, the rod;
The saint shall dwell in glo­ry,
The saint shall dwell with God.
