Beyond This Land of Parting Songtext
von Acappella

Beyond this land of parting, losing, and leaving
Far beyond the losses, darkening this
And far beyond the taking and the bereaving
Lies a summer land of bliss!

Chorus:
Land beyond (land beyond), so fair and bright!
Land beyond (land beyond), where is no night!
Summer land (summer land), God is it′s light
Oh, happy summer land of bliss!


Beyond this land of toiling, sowing and reaping
Far beyond the shadows darkening this
And far beyond the sighing, moaning, and weeping
Lies a summerland of bliss!

Repeat Chorus

Beyond this land of waiting, seeking, and sighing
Far beyond the sorrows darkening this
And far beyond the pain, and sickness and dying
Lies a summer land of bliss!

Repeat Chorus

Land beyond (land beyond), so fair and bright! (so fair and bright)
Land beyond (land beyond), where is no night! (there is no night)
Summer land (summer land), God is its light (God is its light)
Oh, happy summer land of bliss! (summer land of bliss)
