There are hills beyond the valley, Where the river glideth by, Where Eden flowers are blooming Underneath a cloudless sky. There the stately palms are swaying, In the soft and balmy breeze, Birds of Paradise are singing from the ever verdant trees. On those hills beyond the river, Is our heavenly father's throne, And the brightness of that city, Mortal eye hath never known. Oh its gates are shining brightly In the never fading day, For the sunshine is eternal, And can never fade away. While we walk along the valley, We may sometimes gain a view, Of the hills beyond the river, Underneath the arching blue. If our footsteps never falter, In the path that should be trod, We shall meet our beloved sister, In the city of our God.
