THE BRIGHT FOREVER Lyrics

Breaking through the clouds that gather

O'er the Christian's natal skies

Distant beams, like floods of glory

Fill the soul with glad surprise

And we almost hear the echo

Of the pure and holy throng

In the bright, the bright forever

In the summer land of song

Yet a little while we linger

Ere we reach our journey's end

Yet a little while of labor

Ere the evening shades descend

Then we'll lay us down to slumber

But the night will soon be o'er

In the bright, the bright forever

We shall wake, to weep no more

The bright forever

On the banks beyond the river

We shall meet, no more to sever

In the bright, the bright forever

In the summer land of song

O the bliss of life eternal

O the long unbroken rest

In the golden fields of pleasure

In the region of the blest

But, to see our dear Redeemer

And before His throne to fall

There to bear His gracious welcome

Will be sweeter far than all

On the banks beyond the river

We shall meet, no more to sever

In the bright, the bright forever

In the summer land of song

The bright forever
