IT IS BETTER FURTHER ON




Hark! a voice from Eden stealing,
Such as but to angels known,
Hope its song of cheer is singing,
"It is better further on.”

It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.


Hope is singing, still is singing,
Softly in an undertone ;
Singing as if God had taught it,
"It is better further on."

It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.


Night and day it sings the same song,
Sings it when I sit alone;
Sings it so the heart may hear it,
"It is better further on."

It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.


On the grave it sits and sings it,
Sings it when the heart would groan:
Sings it when the shadows darken,
"It is better further on."

It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.


Further on! O how much further?
Count the mile-stones one by one;
No! no counting, only trusting,
"It is better further on."

It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.
It is better further on.
