When we cross the valley
there need be no shadows,
When life’s day is ended
and its sorrows o’er;
When the summons comes
to meet the blessèd Savior,
When we rise to dwell
with Him forevermore.
Shadows! no need of shadows
When at last we lay
life’s burdens down;
Shadows! no need of shadows!
When at last we gain
the victor’s crown.
When our loved ones leave us
there need be no shadows,
If their faith is fixed
in Jesus as their Lord;
For they go to be with Him
Who died to save them,
To be with the One Whom
they have long adored.
Shadows! no need of shadows
When at last we lay
life’s burdens down;
Shadows! no need of shadows!
When at last we gain
the victor’s crown.
When He comes to meet us
there need be no shadows,
When He comes
in all His glorious array;
When the trump of God
shall sound and loved ones waken,
When He leads us onward
with triumphant sway.
Shadows! no need of shadows
When at last we lay
life’s burdens down;
Shadows! no need of shadows!
When at last we gain
the victor’s crown.
