When the Shadows Flee

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: The Voice of Thanksgiving #45 (1913) First Line: Smiling skies will bend above us Refrain First Line: With eternal day before us Lyrics: 1 Smiling skies will bend above us, When the shadows flee; Hearts now cold again will love us, When the shadows flee; We shall lose our care and sorrow, Trouble nevermore to borrow, On that blessed, peaceful morrow, When the shadows flee. Refrain: With eternal day before us, And our Saviour watching o’er us, We shall join the endless chorus, When the shadows flee. 2 Fetters nevermore will bind us, When the shadows flee; This dark vale will be behind us, When the shadows flee; There will be no tempest sweeping,— In our loving Father’s keeping We shall wake, where none are weeping, When the shadows flee. [Refrain] 3 We shall view our home supernal, When the shadows flee; We shall meet our King eternal, When the shadows flee; There, where death will reach us never, There, where naught our hearts shall sever, We shall dwell with Christ forever, When the shadows flee. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Smiling skies will bend above us]
