Beyond this land of parting, losing and leaving,
Far beyond the losses, darkening this,
And far beyond the taking and the bereaving
Lies the summer land of bliss.

Refrain

Land beyond, so fair and bright!
Land beyond, where is no night!
Summer land, God is its Light.
O lies the summer land of bliss.

Beyond this land of toiling, sowing and reaping,
Far beyond the shadows, darkening this,
And far beyond the sighing, moaning and weeping,
Lies the summer land of bliss.

Refrain

Beyond this land of sinning, fainting and failing,
Far beyond the doubtings, darkening this,
Far beyond the griefs and dangers befalling,
Lies the summer land of bliss.

Refrain

Beyond this land of waiting, seeking and sighing,
Far beyond the sorrows, darkening this,
And far beyond the pain and sickness and dying
Lies the summer land of bliss.

Refrain
