And far be­yond the tak­ing and the be­reav­ing
Weary souls, who wan­der wide
So dark, so sad and drear;
Dear land be­yond, to which I go,
For the mes­sage to come o’er,
Who quench the coals of grow­ing strife,

Of bliss

Land be­yond, so fair and bright!
Turn to Je­sus cru­ci­fied,
Roll on with­out a tear!
O song of light and dawn of bliss,
Over on the oth­er shore;
The sons of God, the God of peace.
