No shadows yonder!

All light and song!

Each day I wonder,

And say how long

Shall time me sunder

From that dear throng?

2 No weeping yonder—

All fled away!

While here I wander

Each weary day,

And sigh as I ponder

My long, long stay.

3 No partings yonder—

Time and space never

Again shall sunder—

Hearts can not sever—

Dearer and fonder

Hands clasped for ever.

4 None wanting yonder—

Bought by the Lamb,

All gathered under

The evergreen palm—

Loud as night’s thunder

Ascends the glad psalm.
