Verse 1
I have a home in a fair summerland, Its beauties I never have seen, (have seen,) I have a place on an evergreen strand, There's only a shadow between.
Verse 2
Jesus has promised a home to prepare, Thru faith on the promise I lean, (I lean,) I have a mansion that's wondrously fair, There's only a shadow between.
Verse 3
When I have finished my task here below, I pass thru this shadowy screen, (the screen,) Be with the ransomed forever I know, There's only a shadow between.
Chorus
Only a shadow, a shadow between, Only a shadow between, (between,) One step to go, O the way's all aglow, There's only a shadow between.
