BEYOND THE_SHADOWS. Copyright, 1888, by White, Smith & Co. Words and Music by C. A. White. 
There is life beyond the shadows, there Is hope beyond the vale, Tho' the heart strings nearly sever, God's great wisdom ne'er will fail-Tho' the heart strings nearly sever, God's great wisdom ne'er will fail. There is life beyond the shadows, there is hope beyond the vale. There is life beyond the shadows, there is hope beyond the grave, Tho' the ties of earth may sever, God alone our souls can save. 
Refrain. Tho' ties of earth may sever, God's wisdom ne'er will fail; There's life beyond the shadows, there's hope beyond the vale, God's wisdom ne'er will fail; there's hope beyond the vale. 
Tho' the heart at times seems doubting, and the soul Is filled with fear. Yet the word of God's eternal; he alone has placed us here. Many hearts have been shattered, but life's mission cannot fail. There is life beyond the shadows, there is hope beyond the vale, Tho' the heart at times seems doubting, and the soul is filled with fear, Yet the word of God's eternal; he alone has placed us here. -Refrain.
