The Lamb Is the Light Thereof

Verse 1

If never the gaze of sun and moon, On the blessed home above, From whence, are its rays of wondrous noon? Oh! "the Lamb is the light thereof."

Chorus

They shall walk in white, there shall be no night In the fadeless home above; And the shout shall ring as the ransomed sing, Oh! "the Lamb is the light thereof."

Verse 2

And thus saith the page of Holy Writ Of the land of song and love, "The glory of God did lighten it, And the Lamb is the light thereof."

Verse 3

Then follow Him till the eye grows dim, And the soul, as ark-freed dove, Shall speed away to realms of day, Where "the Lamb is the light thereof."
