From the stranger-country
To the glory-land,
From the pilgrim exile
To the Lord's right hand;
From the lonely valley
To the hills of light,
From the misty shadow
To the day-beams bright,
From the pain, the tears, the sorrow.
To the everlasting morrow;
From the last-drawn earthly sigh;
To the Father's house on high.
From the burden bearing
To the sweet release,
From the tossing billow
To the Realm of Peace;
From the foes besetting
To the angel throng,
From the prayer of anguish
To the raptured song,
From the pain, the tears, the sorrow.
To the everlasting morrow;
From the last-drawn earthly sigh;
To the Father's house on high.
From the thorny pathway
To the fields of balm,
From the shout of warfare
To the victor's palm;
From the farewell sobbings,
From the ebbing tide,
To the glad good-morning
On the other aide.
From the pain, the tears, the sorrow.
To the everlasting morrow;
From the last-drawn earthly sigh;
To the Father's house on high.
