The Light along the ages
Shines brightly as it goes ;
From stage to stage more glorious
Its radiant splendour grows,
Man's life begun so lowly
Now soars to heaven above,
To share, in life eternal,
The joys of endless love !
We thank Thee, O our Father !
For every gift of Thine,
All speak alike the bounty
Of tenderness divine ;
But, every gift surpassing,
This wondrous thought we own,
The Son of Man is risen
To dwell before Thy throne !
Wherever goodness reigneth
The soul of Christ lives on,
And every Christ-like spirit
Shall rise where He hath gone ;
Earth's dust hath served its mission ;
Henceforth the soul is free,
And through the heights of being
Ascends, O God, to Thee.
