Though the shadows gather
O’er our pathway here
Though the day may not be bright and fair
Yet the thought of Heaven
Brings us hope and cheer
For the skies are always bright up there.
Oh
the skies are always bright up there
Yes
the skies are always bright up there;
No storm clouds hover o’er
The city of our God
For the skies are always bright up there.
Night ne’er draws her curtains
O’er that peaceful shore
There ’tis light forever
everywhere;
There the gloom of midnight
We shall know no more
For the skies are always bright up there.
So through clouds and shadows
We will wend our way
Till we reach that city bright and fair;
Then we’ll rest forever
In those realms of day
For the skies are always bright up there.
