The Other Side (Doggett)

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.
