to view. Then to the faithful shall
come the lifting Of the fog, the clear
(
of the loved ones waiting on the pier.
Then will come the affectionate greet
ing and the fond embrace Of loved
ones long separated and they shall
lead US up the shining way Of the
gold paved streets into the light of the
eternal city, and then we shall see
face to face the Captain Of our saliva
