Christ My Song - 2345
No shadows yonder! - The Cloudless
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
The Cloudless.
1. No shadows yonder!
all light and song;
each day I wonder,
and say, How long
shall time me sunder
from that dear throng,
shall time me sunder
from that dear throng? PDF - Midi
2. No weeping yonder!
all fled away;
while here I wander
each weary day;
and sigh as I ponder
my long, long stay,
and sigh as I ponder
my long, long stay.
3. No partings yonder!
time and space never
again shall sunder;
hearts cannot sever;
dearer and fonder
hands clasp for ever,
dearer and fonder
hands clasp for ever.
4. No wanting yonder,
bought by the Lamb!
all gathered under
the ever-green palm;
loud as night's thunder
ascends the glad psalm,
loud as night's thunder
ascends the glad psalm.
Horatius Bonar, Hymns of Faith and Hope I, 1878, 13-14.
