Lyrics The Carter Family – Farther On
Text:
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
