In that blest world whare light and knowledge dwell
Your Blessedness no Earthly tongue can tell
Whare heaven's Effulgence will your Head surround
And you with everlasting glory crown'd

Fill'd with immortal majesty and might
Associated with the God's in light
With gifts and pow'ers of endless lives You'll be
Progressing on and on Eternally
