The day shall never yield to night
when faith gives way to perfect sight.
The Lamb shall be the only light,
and He shall be the temple.
The city streets are paved with gold.
The final scroll shall be unrolled,
and no one shall grow faint or old,
for God shall be their glory.
For now, we see as in a glass,
but soon this childish way shall pass.
Faith and hope and love shall last,
and love shall be the greatest.
For Love Himself our eyes shall see.
The Lord is One, and ever Three,
and in that happy company
we shall rejoice forever.
