Northfield Hymnal ‎#61

61. No Shadows Yonder!

1 No 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?

2 No weeping yonder!
All fled away!
While here I wander,
Each weary day,
I sigh and ponder
My long, long stay;
I sigh and ponder
My long, long stay.

3 No parting yonder!
No space or time
Hearts e’er shall sunder,
In that fair clime,
Dearer and fonder—
Friendship sublime,
Dearer and fonder—
Friendship sublime.

4 None wanting yonder!
Bought by the Lamb,
All gathered under
The shelt’ring palm,
Loud as night's thunder
Swells the glad psalm;
Loud as night's thunder
Swells the glad psalm.
