LyicsNo shadows yonder!
All light and song!
Each day I wonder,
And say, How long
Shall time me sunder
From that dear throng?
No weeping yonder-
All fled away!
While here I wander
Each weary day,
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 for ever.
None wanting yonder-
Bought by the Lamb,
All gathered under
The evergreen palm-
Loud as night's thunder
Ascends the glad psalm.
