First Line: Far away beyond the shadows

Far away beyond the shadows,
Through the rifting clouds above,
Floods of golden light are breaking
From a world where all is love.

Far away beyond the shadows,
There the King Himself will lead us
Where the living water flows.

2 Far away beyond the shadows,
There a bright and joyful throng
Wave their palms of holy triumph,
While they sing the glad new song.

3 Far away beyond the shadows
Let us lift our longing eyes,
Where the shining hills of glory
In their strength and beauty rise.

4 Far away beyond the shadows,
In our Father's house at home,
There our precious ones, departed,
Watch and wait for us to come.
