Look Beyond (Luther)

Fellow voy­ag­er

cease com­plain­ing

Look be­yond this vale of tears;

See the hav­en you are near­ing

Quiet all your ris­ing fears;

Should this world prove dark and dre­ary

And you here no plea­sure find

Look be­yond the clouds that near thee

Look to God

who is so kind.

Cheer up

then

oh

fel­low mor­tal

Never ut­ter one com­plaint;

Never will you pass the heav’n­ly por­tals

If you wea­ry or grow faint.

Let not earth­ly care and sor­row

Darken all life’s path­way o’er;

There will dawn a bright­er morr­ow

As you near the heav’n­ly shore;

Hear ye not those an­gel voices

Calling you to fol­low on?

See the hap­py throng re­joic­ing

As you tread the path alone.
