Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #181b (1885) Hymnal Title: Gospel Praise Book. Lyrics: 1 Ye golden lamps of heav’n! farewell,
With all your feeble light;
Farewell, thou ever-changing moon,
Pale empress of the night!
2 And thou refulgent orb of day,
In brighter flames array’d;
My soul, that springs beyond thy sphere
No more demands thine aid.
3 Ye stars are but the shining dust,
Of my divine abode;
The pavement of those heavenly courts,
Where I shall reign with God.
4 The Father of eternal light
Shall there His beams display;
Nor shall one moment’s darkness mix
With that unvaried day.
5 No more the drops of piercing grief,
Shall swell into my eyes;
Nor the meridian sun decline
Amid those brighter skies.
6 There all the millions of His saints
Shall in one song unite,
And each the bliss of all shall view,
With infinite delight.
