Farther On
August 24, 2024 - 8:41am — ronsue
As we travel through the desert
Storms beset us on our way
But beyond the River Jordan
Lies a field of endless days
Refrain 1
Farther on still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake us never
It is better further on
Oh let us help each other
Of the roughness of the road
Does our strength begin to fail us
Our Lord helps us bear our load
REFRAIN 1
Every day without measure
you give us divine intimacy
Your life - our greatest treasure
In the Mass eucharistically
REFRAIN 2
We work and sing together
In the Spirit of unity
As sisters and as brothers
We press on joyfully
REFRAIN 2
To live in the Father’s will
You showed us how sacrificially
That we may be fulfilled
And live with you eternally
REFRAIN 2
Father On still go farther
Till we see you and the Father
And live with you forever
In resplendent ecstasy
