1. I have a home in a fair summer-land,
Only A Shadow Between
I have a home in a fair summer-land,
Its beauties I never have seen, (have seen,)
I have a place on an evergreen strand,
There’s only a shadow between.
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. (between.)

2. Jesus has promised a home to prepare,
Only A Shadow Between
Jesus has promised a home to prepare,
Thru faith on this promise I lean, (I lean,)
I have a mansion that’s wondrously fair,
There’s only a shadow between.
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. (between.)

3. When I have finished my task here below,
Only A Shadow Between
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.
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. (between.)
