Out of the shadow-land, into the sunshine, Cloudless, eternal, that fades not away ; Softly and tenderly Jesus will call us Home, where the ransomed are gathering to-day.
Silently, peacefully, angels will bear us Into the beautiful mansions above ; There shall we rest from earth's toiling for ever, Safe in the arms of God's infinite love.
2. Out of the shadow-land, weary and changeful, Out of the valley of sorrow and night, Into the rest of the life everlasting, Into the summer of endless delight.
3. Out of the shadow-land, over life's ocean, Into the rapture and joy of the Lord, Safe in the Father's house, welcomed by angels, Ours the bright crown and eternal reward.
