Forever

To be in the realms eternal
Where time is always absent;
To live in the heights immemorial
Where death is never present...
That is all my heart desires: forever.

To sing with the hosts of them
Who marvel at the Lord's grace;
To ascend to the highest realm
And worship The Ancient of days...
That is all my heart desires: forever.

To behold that illumination
Which will never go out of sight;
To be a citizen of that great nation
Where there's no turn of night...
That is all my heart desires: forever.
