Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE FGFGHHHH IHJHHFHF AFHFHFHF HKAKHLAE| Thou hast entered the land without shadows | A |
| Thou who 'neath the shadow so long | B |
| Hast sat with thy white hands close folded | C |
| And lips that could utter no song | B |
| Through a rift in the cloud for an instant | D |
| Thine eyes caught a glimpse of that shore | E |
| And Earth with its gloom was forgotten | F |
| And Heaven is thine own evermore | E |
| - | |
| We see not the glorious vision | F |
| Nor the welcoming melodies hear | G |
| That from bowers of beauty Elysian | F |
| Float tenderly sweet to thine ear | G |
| Round us lie Earth's desolate midnight | H |
| Her winter plains bare and untrod | H |
| Round thee is the glad morning sunlight | H |
| That beams from the City of God | H |
| - | |
| Our eyes have grown heavy with weeping | I |
| Thine the King in his beauty behold | H |
| And thou leanest thy head on His bosom | J |
| Like him the beloved of old | H |
| The days of thy weeping are ended | H |
| Thy sorrow and suffering done | F |
| And angels thy flight have attended | H |
| To the side of the Crucified One | F |
| - | |
| On thy hearth stone the ashes are fireless | A |
| In thy dark home the lights never burn | F |
| In thy garden the sweet flowers have perished | H |
| To thy bower no song birds return | F |
| Yet a mansion of bliss glory lighted | H |
| Where anguish and death are unknown | F |
| Where beauty and bloom are unblighted | H |
| Henceforth is forever thine own | F |
| - | |
| Oh joy for thee glorified spirit | H |
| With Jesus forever to be | K |
| And with sinless and sainted companions | A |
| The bliss of His Paradise see | K |
| Joy joy for thy warfare is finished | H |
| Thy perilous journeying o'er | L |
| And above the deep gloom of Earth's shadows | A |
| Thou art dwelling in Light evermore | E |
