We Shall Be

A beautiful sunrise reflecting across an inlet of water.

Bright light eternal in fractal falls

O’er the sphere casting all upon all

To bright morning all evening succumbs

At last, O Church, your Beloved comes

Suddenly, as with the burst of day

The years of toil and labor pain

With a trumpet sound, sin’s burden lifted

Our spirits witness with Christ’s Spirit gifted

And we shall be like those who dream

Like those gone out from Egypt seemed

Through eternity’s breakers wild,

Upon heaven’s shore and lea beguile

There amidst the sound of rushing sea

Before whom shadows can but flee

Behold the Lion and the Lamb,

Eden and Zion, our great I Am

Lord for whom all glory worthy

May all having breath bless the One in Three

See the one for whom our hearts hold sway

Lift scarred hands to brush every tear away.
