Lyrics

Just be­yond this vale of tears,
Where the cares of life an­noy;
Just be­yond a few short years,
There is ev­er­last­ing joy.

Refrain

Just be­yond, just be­yond,
All our cares will be gone;
Just be­yond, just be­yond,
We shall rest just be­yond.

Friends will reu­nit­ed be,
No one ev­er will de­spond,
Souls from sor­row will be free,
In that home­land just be­yond.

Refrain

Angel voices sweet­ly blend,
Singing songs of love and praise;
Rapture is with­out an end,
Just be­yond these pil­grim days.
