1. Hark! 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.??? 2. 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.??? 3. 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.???
