It Is Better Farther On

As we travel through the desert Storms beset us on our way But beyond the river Jordan Lies the field of endless days 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 milestones, one by one Jesus will forsake you never It is better farther on Jesus, Jesus will go with you He will lead you to the throne He who dyed His garments for you And the winepress trod alone Farther on, still go farther Count the milestones, 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 Singing 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 It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on It is better farther on
