Hymnal: The Book of Worship #364 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye golden lamps of heaven, 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 arrayed!
My soul, which springs beyond thy sphere,
No more demands thine aid.
3 Ye stars are but the shining dust
Of my divine abode-
The pavement of those heavenly 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 noon-day sun decline,
Amid 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: Man a Saint In Prospect of Heaven Languages: English
