After the Life-Paths

After the life-paths we’re tread­ing

End upon time’s sol­emn shore

There will be light at the riv­er

While the re­deemed ones pass o’er.

There will be light at the riv­er

There will be light at the riv­er

There will be light at the riv­er

While the re­deemed ones pass o’er.

There will be light for the spir­its

Who thro’ deep sha­dows have come—

Fadeless light shin­ing glad wel­come

Out from the win­dows of home.

There will be light for the wea­ry

Who thro’ sore tri­als have passed—

Radiant light as they en­ter

Peace that for ev­er shall last.

There will be light for the faith­ful

Whate’er the way they have trod—

Glorious light sent to guide them

Safe to the ci­ty of God.
