Oh, weary brother, cease your sighing
There will come a better day
Beyond the shadows is your dwelling
There will come a better day
Remember when the clouds are flying,
Soon they all must pass away,
So, let us live a life that's purely
In the hands of God to stay
Beyond the shadows is home, sweet home
In the hands of God to stay
The darkest hour of night is surely
Just before the break of day
Beyond the shadows (shadows there)
The sun is shining (shining so clear)
Beyond the night time (the night of fear)
When day is going (it's going away)
There'll be no sighing (sighing there)
There'll be no crying (crying there)
We'll live forever, at home, at home, sweet home
Come on my brother, cease your doubting,
Soon the sun is shining bright
Beyond the shadows is your dwelling
Soon the sun is shining bright
Join with me and we'll go singing,
Sweeping through the gates of light
