33. Beyond this Land of Parting

1 Beyond this land of parting, losing and leaving,
Far beyond the losses, darkening this,
And far beyond the taking and the bereaving
Lies the summer-land of bliss.

Refrain:
Land beyond, so fair and bright!
Land beyond where is no night!
Summer-land, God is its Light,
O happy summer-land of bliss!

2 Beyond this land of toiling, sowing and reaping,
Far beyond the shadows darkening this,
And far beyond the sighing, moaning and weeping,
Lies the summer-land of bliss. [Refrain]

3 Beyond of this land of sinning, fainting and falling,
Far beyond the doubtings darkening this,
And far beyond the griefs and dangers befalling,
Lies the summer-land of bliss. [Refrain]

4 Beyond this land of waiting, seeking and sighing,
Far beyond the sorrows darkening this,
And far beyond the pain and sickness and dying,
Lies the summer-land of bliss. [Refrain]
