1 Far beyond all the reaches of our vision here,
Is a bright and happy home on high;
And sometime in the dawning of that morning clear,
We shall reach the pearly Gates by and by.

Refrain:
Then press along, the press along,
Keep your faces turned t’ward the sky,
Never be discouraged for God’s Word says
We shall reach the Pearly Gates by and by.

2 Though at times we grow weary when the road seems long,
And for rest up yonder oft we sigh;
Yet this blessed assurance keeps our courage strong,
We shall reach the pearly Gates by and by. [Refrain]

3 Many friends have departed for that land so fair,
And have found those mansions in the sky;
Very soon we will join them in that home up there,
When we reach the pearly Gates by and by. [Refrain]
