No Shadows Yonder

No sha­dows yon­der! All light and song!

Each day I won­der

and say

How long

Shall time me sun­der from that dear throng?

No weep­ing yon­der! All fled away!

While here I wan­der

each weary day

I sigh and pon­der my long

long stay.

No part­ing yon­der! No space or time

Shall hearts e’er sun­der

in that fair clime

Dearer and fon­der—in friend­ship sub­lime.

None want­ing yon­der! Bought by the Lamb

All ga­thered un­der the ev­er­green palm.

Loud as night’s thun­der swells out the glad psalm.
