LyicsNo shadows yonder-
All light and song;
Each day I wonder,
And say how long
Shall time me sunder.
From that dear throng?
Shall time me sunder
From that dear throng!
No weeping yonder-
All fled a-way;
While here I wander,
Each weary day,
And sigh as I ponder
My long, long stay;
And sigh as I ponder
My long, long stay.
No partings yonder-
Time and space never
Again shall sunder,
Hearts can not sever,
Dearer and fonder
Hands clasped forever;
Dearer and fonder
Hands clasped for ever.
None wanting yonder-
Bought by the Lamb,
All gathered under
The evergreen palm,
Lord as night's thunder
Ascends the glad psalm;
Loud as night's thunder
Ascends the glad psalm.
