Beyond this gloomy night
1
Beyond this gloomy nightEternal beauties rise,A land of love, a land of light,Unseen by mortal eyes.
2
No cloud those regions know,Realms ever bright and fair;For sin, the source of mortal woe,Can never enter there.
3
O may the prospect fireOur hearts with ardent love,Till wings of faith, and strong desire,Bear every thought above.
