The World Above
Author: C. Hartley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16683 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D First Line: The world above is not like this Refrain First Line: The world above is not like this Lyrics:
1 The world above is not like this,
So dark, so sad and drear;
Oh no, for there the years of bliss
Roll on without a tear!
No gloom, no night, nor cloud of grief
Can ever cast a shade
Across those sunny plains of peace
In light and love arrayed!
Refrain:
The world above is not like this,
So dark, so sad, and drear;
Oh no, for there the years of bliss
Roll on without a tear!
2 The world above is not like this,
No parting tears are shed,
Nor sweet affection’s lingering kiss,
Bestowed upon the dead;
There severed hearts unite again,
In love around the throne,
And far beyond this world of pain
Take up their crown and home! [Refrain]
3 Oh for a harp in that bright world,
Far from the tears of this;
Here death’s black banners are unfurled
To shade each hour of bliss;
But there each spirit-harp will thrill
With music’s endless tones,
And Jesus’ smile forever fill
With light our angel homes. [Refrain]
