Beyond Life's Steep.
35
Joy would fill my bosom, if my eyes could but see
At the end of that way, friends were waiting for me.
At the end of that way, friends were waiting for me.
If Jesus through this world would but lead my life's trend,
I'd know that my sorrow in great joy would soon end,
And all of earth's crosses would as nothing then be,
When my Saviour and King gives a bright crown to me.
I'd know that my sorrow in great joy would soon end,
And all of earth's crosses would as nothing then be,
When my Saviour and King gives a bright crown to me.
BEYOND LIFE'S STEEP.
Beyond life's steep and rugged mountains,
Beside a crystal, sparkling sea,
O'er sands of gold, celestial fountains
Flow fraught with life for you and me.
Beside a crystal, sparkling sea,
O'er sands of gold, celestial fountains
Flow fraught with life for you and me.
For aye, in fields of vernal green,
The ransomed soul in peace reposes;
And o'er that bright, eternal scene
Blow zephyrs sweet as summer roses.
The ransomed soul in peace reposes;
And o'er that bright, eternal scene
Blow zephyrs sweet as summer roses.
If we from Pisgah's mountain high,
Could view earth's rising tides of woe.
For Eden's fair fields, the heart would sigh
And we would forget hopes wrecked below.
Could view earth's rising tides of woe.
For Eden's fair fields, the heart would sigh
And we would forget hopes wrecked below.
