Beyond the Shadows

Verse 1

Just beyond where the shadows are falling Is a bright, summer land, ever fair; With the brilliance of day it is glowing, And the night never falls over there.

Chorus

The beautiful light is shining so clear, Where darkness can never come; Soon we shall have passed the shadowy vale, And anchored in peace at home.

Verse 2

I’ll not fear when I pass through the valley, Though encompassed by shadows of night, For I know that beyond it is shining An eternal and glorious light.

Verse 3

With His rod and His staff He will comfort, When obscured is the light of the day; If I trust in the word of His promise, With His hand He will guide all the way.

Verse 4

Shall we weep when we know the departed With their toils and their cares now are done, And the bliss of eternity’s ages In the presence of God is begun?
