The Heaven Sings

When life as a river flows by 
after days of storms
and night of troubling waves
 then i become the close of your journey 

When life as a battle is over 
after months of troubles 
and years of perils 
then i shine as the gold of your victory 

When the negative side of the coin turns over 
after seasons of sorrow 
and times of  times of bitter drops 
then i become the home of your glory

When the cruel cross is conquered 
after periods of pain 
and moments of mourning
then i become the hope of your story

When the race of grace ends
 after days of grave contest
 between you and deadly tempest
 then i give you the robe of rest

Strive to enter; though with pain
for straigth is the gate
and narrow is the way 
that leads to this eternal lane
