Beyond the stars that brightly gleam Beyond life's short and shadowed stream, There is a land of fadeless bloom, And flowers of rich and rare perfume : Perfect peace we there shall know, Like the river's endless flow.
Beyond the stars . . sweet peace we'll know,. Calm as the crys - - tal river's flow : . . Where rolls the sea . . of perfect love, . . Beyond the stars . . that gleam above.
2. Beyond the stars no storm will beat, No thorns will pierce our weary feet, No sad good-byes we e'er shall say, And see fond faces glide away : Forms that here we seek in vain, There we'll clasp their hands again.
3. Beyond the stars no toils or tears, No sombre skies or gloomy fears ; For He who trod life's weary way Shall wipe all sorrow's tears away : Endless joys shall then be mine, When I see His face divine.
