I've Been Longing That The Shadows

Author: Ellen M. Dyer Meter: 8.5.8.5 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I’ve been longing that the shadows Lyrics: 1 I’ve been longing that the shadows All might pass away. Deeming not that I could send them Speeding on their way. Now, I bid you go, My children You whom I have made! Give your place to Heav’n-born treasures That can cast no shade. 2 What are these, my new-found blessings? Strength, and joy, and love; Peace and rest in simply doing The sweet will of God. All my longing, my repining, Lord, I yield to Thee. Lo! my sun is brightly shining, All my shadows flee! Used With Tune: I OBEY Text Sources: Song-Hymnal of Praise and Joy (Jackson, Minn.: Pluma M. Brown, 1897)
