17102. A Land Beyond the Valley

1. There’s a land be­yond the valley
That is fair­er than the day,
Where are flow­ers ev­er bloom­ing,
Joys that ne­ver pass away;
Where the tree of life is bear­ing
Leaves that heal our pain and care,
And our Sav­ior is pre­par­ing
For us man­sions ov­er there.

Refrain

Over there be­yond the val­ley,
Just be­yond the deep, dark val­ley;
There’s a land beyond the val­ley
That is fair­er than the day.

2. We shall sing be­yond the val­ley,
And our weep­ing will be o’er;
We shall raise our hal­le­luj­ahs
To the Sav­ior we ad­ore;
Robed in white and crowned with glo­ry
We shall min­gle with the blest,
And for­get the wea­ry jour­ney
When we e­nter into rest.

Refrain

3. Till we pass be­yond the val­ley
We will toil and pray and sing;
And the dear­est of our trea­sures
To our Sav­ior we will bring;
We will tell abroad the tid­ings
Of the land be­yond the vale
Where the joys ab­ide for­ev­er
And the bles­sings ne­ver fail.

Refrain
