The Evergreen ‎#4

4. The Palaces Of Light

1 Beyond the darkness of the tomb,
Are palaces of light,
Forever clothed in vernal bloom,
And bathed in glory bright.

Chorus:
Clean robes, pure robes,
In Jesus' blood made white,
We all must ear to enter there,
In the palaces of light.

2 There, crowned with everlasting joy,
The blood-washed myriads reign,
Arrayed in garments snowy white,
Unmarred with sin or stain. [Chorus]

3 And may I have a dwelling there,
A home at God's right hand,
A mansion golden, bright and fair,
Within that better land. [Chorus]

4 O palaces of glorious light,
I long your bliss to share!
Dear Jesus, cleanse me in thy blood,
And give mo entrance there. [Chorus]
