“He shall go no more out.”
Once within, within for evermore:
There the long beatitudes begin:
Overflows the still unwasting store,
Once within.
There the long beatitudes begin:
Overflows the still unwasting store,
Once within.
Left without are death and doubt and sin;
All man wrestled with and all he bore,
Man who saved his life, skin after skin.
All man wrestled with and all he bore,
Man who saved his life, skin after skin.
Blow the trumpet-blast unheard before,
Shout the unheard-of shout for these who win,
These, who cast their crowns on Heaven's high floor
Once within.
Shout the unheard-of shout for these who win,
These, who cast their crowns on Heaven's high floor
Once within.
