Traveler on the road of sin and sor­row,
Baffled by the storms, and in des­pair,
Fear not, for the dawn will come to­mor­row,
When will flee all tri­als, toil and care.

Refrain

Look be­yond! the clouds are part­ing slow­ly;
Look be­yond! to pear­ly gates so fair;
Look be­yond! where rest the meek and low­ly;
Look be­yond! the crowns and palms are there.

There are tri­als that we must en­count­er,
Overcome we must our stub­born wills;
Fly to Je­sus, then, the liv­ing wa­ter—
He can wash and cleanse us from all ills.

Refrain

Look be­yond, there’s rest just ov­er yon­der;
Soon we’ll leave this earth­ly house of clay;
If we’re rea­dy, free­ly death may sun­der.
Bright will dawn the light of per­fect day.

Refrain
