#### JUST BEYOND THE LAST HILL

CHORUS

AS I STOOD BY THE BEDSIDE OF THE ONE I LOVE DEAR.
MY SORROWS WERE LIFTED, HER WORDS I STILL HEAR.
HER HAND MADE A JESTER, HER VOICE WE SO WEAK.
SHE MOTIONED ME CLOSER, AND STARTED TO SPEAK

RECITATION

OH I WANT YOU TO MISS ME IN A WAY I SUPPOSE
BUT NOT TO BE SORRY THAT TIME'S COME TO GO.
WE'LL HAVE A REUNION AND OH WHAT A THRILL.
THAT FINAL HOMECOMING, JUST BEYOND THE LAST HILL.
LET THE HAND OF DEATH BECKON WHY I'M NOT AFRAID,
THE VICTORY IS MINE, OVER DEATH HELL AND THE GRAVE.
I'VE LIVED FOR THE MASTER, AND WALKED IN HIS WILL.
I'M READY TO MEET HIM, JUST BEYOND THE LAST HILL.
I SERVED HIM WITH PATIENCE, LIKE HE TOLD ME TO DO.
AND IN SPITE OF MY TRIALS, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN TRUE.
NOW IT'S JUST ABOUT OVER, AND I KNOW IT'S HIS WILL.
I CAN SEE THE LAST SUNSET, I SEE THE LAST HILL.
BUT THAT LAST HILL IS NOTHING, WITH THE LORD BY MY SIDE.
JUST A FEW STEPS TOGETHER, AND MY SOUL WILL TAKE FLIGHT.
ALREADY THE ANGELS ARE CIRCLING MY BED.
AND A GREAT LIGHT IS SHINING, JUST OVER MY HEAD.
AND I SENSE THE DEATH ANGELS, BUT I HAVE NO FEAR.
FOR MUSIC FROM HEAVEN, ALREADY HEAR.
SO DON'T WEEP FOR ME CHILDREN, WHEN MY BODY LIES STILL.
FOR HEAVEN IS YONDER, JUST BEYOND THE LAST HILL.
WHO'S COMING TO MEET ME, IN A ROBE WHITE AS SNOW,
WHY I THINK IT'S THE SAVIOUR OH I'M ANXIOUS TO GO.
THERE'S A VOICE SWEETLY CALLING AND I BEND TO IT'S WILL
NOW THE SUN'S GOING DOWN, JUST BEYOND THE LAST HILL.
NOW WHAT'S THAT HE'S SAYING, OH COULD I BE INSANE/
WHY HE'S HOLDIN A CROWN, AND HE'S CALLING MY NAME.
OH MY HEART BEATS WITH GLADNESS, MY SOUL DOES IT THRILL.
MY FIRST GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN, AS I CLIMB THE LAST HILL,

(END)
MY FIRST GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN, AS I CLIMB THE LAST HILL.
