Invocation
In this everlasting light!
And He came himself to greet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus’ arms to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond Earth’s shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s Will. When your work is all completed He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting Oh, the joy to see you come.
