Beyond by Charles L. Williams — Lyrics
I know not where, but somewhere far away,
There lies a garden where tired hearts may stray,
Where shadows are not, where no tears can be,
Where life’s vain discords end in harmony.
I know not where, but somewhere far away,
There lies a sheltered, quiet harbour bay,

About Beyond
Charles L. Williams paints a serene picture of a distant, peaceful haven in this SATB setting of an English text. The words speak of a garden where weary souls find solace, and a quiet harbour where ships can finally anchor, free from the world's storms. It evokes a profound sense of rest and resolution after life's struggles, a place where all discords fade into harmony. The composer's music aims to capture this yearning for tranquility and ultimate peace, offering a reflective musical experience that transcends the troubles of the present.
