Lyrics

Oh! Mas­ter, we are wea­ry
With men’s cold hearts and pride;
How long, ere Thou wilt take us
Unto the oth­er side?
Unto the oth­er side!
Unto the oth­er side!
How long ere Thou wilt take us
Unto the oth­er side?

They care not to come with us
And Thy dis­ci­ples be;
They si­lent­ly de­ride us—
Oh, let us cross the sea.
Unto the oth­er side!
Unto the oth­er side!
Oh, let us cross the bright sea
Unto the oth­er side!

Bright fields lie there be­fore us,
The wa­ters are not wide,
And friends and rest and Hea­ven
Are on the oth­er side.
Are on the oth­er side!
Are on the oth­er side!
And friends and rest and Hea­ven
Are on the oth­er side!

Work pa­tient­ly, My child­ren,
His calm, sweet voice re­plied,
At night you shall pass ov­er,
Unto the oth­er side.
Unto the oth­er side!
Unto the oth­er side!
At night you shall pass ov­er,
Unto the oth­er side.
