<p>Breaking through the clouds that gather,<br>
O&#8217;er the Christian&#8217;s natal skies,<br>
Distant beams, like floods of glory,<br>
Fill the soul with glad surprise;<br>
And we almost hear the echo<br>
Of the pure and holy throng,<br>
In the bright, the bright forever,<br>
In the summer land of song.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">On the banks beyond the river<br>
We shall meet, no more to sever;<br>
In the bright, the bright forever,<br>
In the summer land of song.</p>
<p>Yet a little while we linger,<br>
Ere we reach our journey&#8217;s end;<br>
Yet a little while of labor,<br>
Ere the evening shades descend;<br>
Then we&#8217;ll lay us down to slumber,<br>
But the night will soon be o&#8217;er;<br>
In the bright, the bright forever,<br>
We shall wake, to weep no more.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>O the bliss of life eternal!<br>
O the long unbroken rest!<br>
In the golden fields of pleasure,<br>
In the region of the blest;<br>
But, to see our dear Redeemer,<br>
And before His throne to fall,<br>
There to bear His gracious welcome,<br>
Will be sweeter far than all.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
