Lyics

This life's a dream, an empty show,

But the bright world to which I go

Hath joys substantial and sincere;

When shall I wake and find me there?



Here faith reveals to mortal eyes,

A brighter world beyond the skies;

Here shines the light which guides our way

From earth to realms of endless day.
