"Forward into Light!"

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #732 (1884) First Line: Far o'er yon horizon Refrain First Line: Forward into Light! Lyrics: 1 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers, Where our God abideth; That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold: Flows the gladdening river Shedding joys untold: Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might: Pilgrims to your country, Forward into Light! 2 Into God's high temple Onward as we press, Beauty spreads around us, Born of holiness; Arch, and vault, and carving, Lights of varied tone; Softened words and holy, Prayer and praise alone: Every thought upraising To our city bright, Where the tribes assemble Round the throne of Light! 3 Naught that city needeth Of these aisles of stone: Where the Godhead dwelleth, Temple there is none: All the saints that ever In these courts have stood, Are but babes, and feeding On the children's food. On through sign and token, Stars amidst the night; Forward through the darkness, Forward into Light! 4 To the eternal Father Loudest anthems raise: To the Son and Spirit Echo songs of praise: To the Lord of Glory Blessed Three in One, Be by men and angels Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises, Dull the songs of night: Forward into triumph, Forward into Light! Languages: English Tune Title: FORWARD
