As we travel through the desert
Storms beset us by the way
But beyond the river Jordan
Lies a land of endless day

Refrain:
Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better farther on

-Solo-

Oh, my Brother, are you weary
Of the roughness of the way
Does your strength begin to fail you
And your vigor to decay

Refrain: -Solo-

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
Refrain:
