“Beyond the mystic river
Are paths that lead to peace,
To the the macEioß of the ransom’d,
Where strife and turmoil cease.
Beyond tbs murky waters
Of Charon’s sullen stream
I catch the sheen of jasper
Through a star-illumined dieam.
Beymid tha mystic river
Are paths that lead to joy;
Where the tree of life is hloemmg,
no worldly griefs annoy.
Beyond the storms and shadows
That gioom our lives below,
There is ti land ail radiant
Where living waters flow—
Where loved ones have gone before.
Beyond the mystic river
Are paths that lead to light,
Where the glowing sea of crystal
Breaks on the ravished sight.
No sanlight gilds the city,
Nor argent moonbeams play;
God’s presence is the glory
That pales tha orb ot day.
Beyond the mystic rivc-r
Are paths that lead to loye,
Where streets of golden splendor
Illume the world above.
There eita enthroned the Father,
Amid the seraph throng,
That cast their crowns before him,
And glorify with song.
Beyond the mystic river
I hear the harps afar,
And through the crimson sunset
See pearly gates ajar.
Beyond tho vale of shadows
A star beams on the way;
The star that lead the magi,
Leads on to endless day.”
