Representative Text

1 I have a home in a fair summer land,
Its beauties I never have seen,
I have a place on an evergreen strand,
There’s only a shadow between.

Chorus:
Only a shadow, a shadow between,
Only a shadow between,
One step to go O the way’s all aglow,
There’s only a shadow between.

2 Jesus has promised a home to prepare,
Thro’ faith on this promise I lean,
I have a mansion that’s wondrously fair,
There’s only a shadow between. [Chorus]

3 When I have finished my task here below,
I pass thro’ this shadowy screen,
Be with the ransomed forever I know,
There’s only a shadow between. [Chorus]
