Farther On Xiu Xiu

As we travel through the desert
Storms beset us by the way
But beyond the river Jordan
Lies a field of endless day
Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better farther on
Oh, my brother, are you weary
Of the roughness of the way?
Does your strength begin to fail you
And your vigor to decay?
Farther on, still go farther
Count the mile stones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better farther on
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 farther on
Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better farther on
