As Joy Will Last Forever

L-osing its dark shadows I-s the long and black night; L-eaving the cold raindrop, I-t lets the light shine so bright. A-fter the dusk disappears, the twilight does the same; N-ew dawn shouts for joy, calling out your name. E-ventide fades into gray, C-hill the sun did parch; L-onely twilight is over, E-arly sixth morn in March. V-isible things disappear, I-mages are only short-term; A-ll here in the world are impermanent or infirm. D-o fix both your eyes on the hidden gift of life; E-xpress a stronger faith to battle all sorts of strife. V-isualize the Holy City, E-ternal peace is truly there; R-oads are paved with gold, A-s joy will last forever.
