Voice Note with words to 1st verse:

1 After the shadows flee, beautiful morn ‘twill be,
Ended will be the old Cross-Road;
We will be at the gate, greeting the friends who wait,
We shall have reached the blessed abode.

Refrain:
After the shadows, morning will come –
Wonderful morning, glorious day!
Singing of Jesus, we shall reach home,
After the shadows vanish away.

2 After our toil and care, life will be sweet and fair,
We shall be troubled nevermore;
Anthems of praise we’ll sing ever to Christ our King,
On the eternal, happy shore. [Refrain]

3 Let us keep pressing on, sure that the golden dawn
We shall behold with joy at last;
Let us be brave and true, trials will all be thro’,
After the shadows all are past. [Refrain]
