Silent, silent in their turning,
Round the never changing pole;
Upward where the sky is brightest,
Upward where the blue is lightest,
Lift I now my longing soul.
2 Far beyond the arch of gladness,
Far beyond these clouds of sadness,
Are the many mansions fair:
Far from pain and sin and folly,
In that palace of the holy
I would find my mansion there.
3 Where the Lamb on high is seated,
By ten thousand voices greeted:
Lord of lords, and King of kings!
Son of man, they crown, they crown him,
Son of God, they own, they own him,
With his name the palace rings.
4 Blessing, honor, without measure,
Heavenly riches, earthly treasure,
Lay we at his blessed feet:
Poor the praise that now we render,
Lord shall be our voices yonder,
When before his throne we meet. Used With Tune: BONAR
