Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #397 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye golden lamps of heav'n! farewell,
With all your feeble light,
Farewell, thou ever-changing moon
Pale empress of the night!
2 And thou, refulgent orb of day,
In brighter flames array'd!
My soul, which spring beyond thy sphere,
No more demands thine aid.
3 Ye stars are but the shining dust
Of my divine abode,
The pavement of those heav'nly courts,
Where I shall reign with God.
4 The Father of eternal light
Shall there his beams display;
Nor shall one moment's darkness mix
With that unvaried day.
5 No more the drops of piercing grief
Shall swell into mine eyes;
Nor the meridian sun decline
Amidst those brighter skies.
6 There all the millions of his saints
Shall in one song unite,
And each the bliss of all shall share
With infinite delight. Topics: Consummation of Things Judgment and Eternity Languages: English
