I hear Hope sweetly singing Softly in an undertone, Singing as if God had taught her, “It is better farther on.” Night and day I hear her singing— Singing while I sit alone, Singing so my heart may hear it, “It is better farther on.” When my faith took hold on Jesus, Light divine within me shone, And I know since that glad moment, “It is better farther on.” I have plunged into the fountain, Flowing free for everyone; I am saved and Hope is singing, “It is better farther on.” Farther on, but how much farther? Count the milestones one by one; No, no counting, only trusting— “It is better farther on.” Rest, my soul, in hope forever, all my doubts and fears are gone; Jesus is my Savior, Keeper— “It is better farther on.”
