Farther On - The Carter Family

When the gloom of night surrounds you

Wait with patience for the dawn

If you tread the Christian’s pathway

Light will cheer you farther on

Farther on, farther on

All the shadows will be gone

Falter not, oh weary brother

Joy is coming farther on

Farther on the toilsome journey

Ends where walls of desperately

Farther on the wayward pilgrim

Rest by life’s fair flowing stream

Farther on, farther on

All the shadows will be gone

Falter not, oh weary brother

Joy is coming farther on

Farther on this toilsome journey

Every trial will repay

Faint not then, oh weary brother

As you travel on your way

Farther on, farther on

All the shadows will be gone

Falter not, oh weary brother

Joy is coming farther on
