Farther On

As we travel through the desert

Storms beset us by the way

But beyond the river Jordan

Lies a field of endless day

Farther on, still go farther

Count the milestones one by one

Jesus will forsake you never

It is better farther on

Oh, my brother, are you weary

Of the roughness of the way?

Does your strength begin to fail you

And your vigor to decay?

Farther on, still go farther

Count the mile stones one by one

Jesus will forsake you never

It is better farther on

At my grave, oh still be singing

Though you weep for one that's gone

Sing it as we once did sing it

It is better farther on

Farther on, still go farther

Count the milestones one by one

Jesus will forsake you never

It is better farther on
