PATMOS
Come into the sunlight with me,
Then all the dream shadows will flee
And man himself will see
The universe as it is to be.
Then all the dream shadows will flee
And man himself will see
The universe as it is to be.
The beloved disciple saw
God's word fulfilled in Spirit's law
And from the rocky island bare
Gave of his bounty fair.
God's word fulfilled in Spirit's law
And from the rocky island bare
Gave of his bounty fair.
His pure thought touched the Heart divine
And of its glorious hidden mine
Did pour upon the earth treasures rare,
Jewels beyond compare.
And of its glorious hidden mine
Did pour upon the earth treasures rare,
Jewels beyond compare.
Until in time fulfilment came:
The mystery taken from His Holy name
As was declared by the angel of old
Who to John this wonderous story told.
The mystery taken from His Holy name
As was declared by the angel of old
Who to John this wonderous story told.
The "little book" has come to light
Making everything in God's universe bright,
Making all of the promises true,
As the Father said in His word He would do.
Making everything in God's universe bright,
Making all of the promises true,
As the Father said in His word He would do.
