Look Beyond (Adams)

Traveler on the road of sin and sor­row

Baffled by the storms

and in des­pair

Fear not

for the dawn will come to­mor­row

When will flee all tri­als

toil and care.

Look be­yond! the clouds are part­ing slow­ly;

Look be­yond! to pear­ly gates so fair;

Look be­yond! where rest the meek and low­ly;

Look be­yond! the crowns and palms are there.

There are tri­als that we must en­count­er

Overcome we must our stub­born wills;

Fly to Je­sus

then

the liv­ing wa­ter—

He can wash and cleanse us from all ills.

Look be­yond

there’s rest just ov­er yon­der;

Soon we’ll leave this earth­ly house of clay;

If we’re rea­dy

free­ly death may sun­der.

Bright will dawn the light of per­fect day.
