And the blest never ending day
vo,, will ,,,;oc bar loved fana
And mourn for her here, but Jesus, dear Jesus
pray
Open wide the bright gates that their darling
May seem not so far away.
So sweet is the voice of the Master
He says, oh sorrowing heart be still,
Look up where the towers of Jasper
Stand firm on the golden hill
IT'S only step to the glory,
That seemeth so far away,
Close by in the garden Of Lily's.
The feet of your Ella will stray.
The steps to her palace are golden
And oft on the shining stair,
The feet of your beautiful angel,
Will steal softly and unaware.
And sweetly look down from the D ortal
And lingering seem to say,
There's room, and the gates of the city,
Are open, by night and by day.
