Hark! I Hear Hope Sweetly Singing
Softly In An Undertone,
Singing As If God Had Taught Her,
“It Is Better Farther On.”
Night And Day I Hear Her Singing—
Singing While I Sit Alone,
Singing So My Heart May Hear It,
“It Is Better Farther On.”
When My Faith Took Hold On Jesus,
Light Divine Within Me Shone,
And I Know Since That Glad Moment,
“It Is Better Farther On.”
I Have Plunged Into The Fountain,
Flowing Free For Everyone;
I Am Saved And Hope Is Singing,
“It Is Better Farther On.”
Farther On, But How Much Farther?
Count The Milestones One By One;
No, No Counting, Only Trusting—
“It Is Better Farther On.”
Rest, My Soul, In Hope Forever,
All My Doubts And Fears Are Gone;
Jesus Is My Savior, Keeper—
“It Is Better Farther On.”
