Representative Text

1 Thinly hangs the veil between
Earthly things and things unseen,
Just beyond our mortal sight
Lies the land of love and light.

Refrain:
Some day, some day, then I shall see
When Jesus lifts the veil for me;
Then I shall know his wondrous grace,
And read life’s lesson in his face.

2 Thinly hangs the veil between
Barren wastes and fields of green,
Just beyond the thorns that tear
Bloom celestial flowers fair. [Refrain]

3 Thinly hangs the veil between
Missing forms and forms unseen,
Just beyond our tearful sight
Dwell the angel hosts in white. [Refrain]

4 Thinly now that veil divides
Stormy seas and peaceful tides,
Just beyond our closing eyes
Gleam the shores of Paradise. [Refrain]
