As a golden ribbon of prayers
Wraps about the new Heavenly body
Clothed in a robe of whitest white
Embroidered in delicate silver threads,
God's beauty glows forever on display
In another of His "Chosen Ones".
A metallic luster seen on the skin
In radiance from the King's Throne of Holiness;
Kingdom joy has no limits,
Experienced in Heaven and on Earth
While Messiah's Peace moves as a living fragrance
Carries within and without,
Angel wings powerfully lift the winds far beyond
Tenderly caress the waters of streams, of oceans;
Love completely covers the sky above,
Love covers the ground below.
Our Lord's Kingdom patiently waited for this one,
And now waits for many others to be soon gathered
As a bouquet of splendor
Flowers of majestic delight that soar
Made ready, made known
To be set in the place of honor,
One brother or sister lost to the world
But found in Heaven's gain
At rest before Eternity's only King,
Before Eternity's very Creator!
