As we travel through the desert Storms beset us by the way But beyond the river Jordan Lies a field of endless day [Chorus:] Further on still go further Count the milestones one by one Jesus will forsake you never It is better further on Oh my brother are you weary Of the roughtness of the way? Does your strength begin to fail you And your vigor to decay? [Chorus] At my grave oh still be singing Though you weep for one that's gone Sing it as we once did sing it It is better further on. [Chorus]
