Dark Below, But Light Above

Author: Anna Fales Peckham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12509 First Line: Thro’ the mists of shadows dreary Refrain First Line: ’Twas a voice of wondrous sweetness Lyrics: 1 Thro’ the mists of shadows dreary, O’er the dark and stormy sea, Came a voice of heav’nly music, Floating thro’ the gloom to me; ’Twas a voice of wondrous sweetness, Bringing words of hope and love, Whispering to my troubled spirit, "Dark below, but light above." Refrain: ’Twas a voice of wondrous sweetness, Bringing words of hope and love, Whispering to my troubled spirit, Dark below, but light above. 2 Often when life’s shadows gather Round my weary troubled soul, Comes that voice of angel sweetness, Whispering I am near the goal; Telling me, in softened murmurs, Bringing words of hope and love, Saying to my doubting spirit, "Dark below, but light above." [Refrain] 3 Soon I’ll reach those golden portals, Soon I’ll cross life’s troubled sea, Whence that voice of music floating, Came and whispered hope to me; There in Heav’n’s own light forever, In that sunlight of God’s love, Shall I find that saying truthful, "Dark below, but light above." [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Thro’ the mists of shadows dreary]
