O by thy soul-inspiring grace uplift our hearts to realms on high; help us to look to that bright place beyond the sky.

Verse 4

Where light and life and joy and peace in undivided empire reign, and thronging angels never cease their deathless strain

where saints are clothed in spotless white, and evening shadows never fall, where thou, eternal Light of light, art Lord of all.
