Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping
1
Beyond the smiling and the weeping,I shall be soon;Beyond the waking and the sleeping,Beyond the sowing and the reaping,I shall be soon.
Refrain.
Love, rest and home! sweet home!Lord, tarry not, but come.
2
Beyond the blooming and the fading,I shall be soon;Beyond the shining and the shading,Beyond the hoping and the dreading,I shall be soon.
3
Beyond the parting and the meeting,I shall be soon;Beyond the farewell and the greeting,Beyond the pulse's fever beating,I shall be soon.
