Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

ETERNAL LIGHT!
1.
Eternal Light! Eternal Light!
How pure the soul must be,
When, placed within Thy searching sight;
It shrinks not, but with calm delight-
Can live, and look on Thee.
2.
The spirits that surround Thy throne-
May bear the burning bliss;
But surely that is theirs alone-
Who, undefiled, have never known-
A fallen world like this.
3.
O how shall I, whose native sphere-
Is dark, whose mind is dim,
Before the Ineffable appear,
And on my naked spirit bear-
The uncreated beam?
4.
There is a way for man to rise-
To that sublime abode:
An offering and a sacrifice,
A Holy Spirit’s energies,
An Advocate with God.
5.
These, these prepare us for the sight-
Of holiness above;
The sons of ignorance and night-
May dwell in the eternal Light,
Through the eternal Love!
A blessèd Seventh Day Sabbath to all believers.
In the Son’s Name - For the Father’s glory.
