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.
