101. Beyond the Shadows

1 Some sweet day beyond the shadows,
Some sweet day beyond the tide,
We shall see and be with Jesus,
We shall then be glorified.

Refrain:
We shall sing the song of heaven,
With the ransomed ‘round the throne;
We shall then be one with Jesus,
We shall know as we are known.

2 Some sweet day beyond the billows
Of this life’s tempestuous sea,
We shall reach the home in glory,
We shall live eternally. [Refrain]

3 Some sweet day, in that blest morrow,
We shall join the happy throng;
We shall see and know our loved ones,
We shall sing the glory song. [Refrain]
