Beyond the veil of mortal frame
The radiance of His light,
Doth now the glorious truth proclaim
He conquers all our night.

And the shadows of the present
Can never dim the view,
Since Christ, the veil in two did rent,
And light came shining through.

And so although we walk the path
That leads beyond the veil,
We rest secure in Him who hath
The power to prevail.

For Christ, the Light illumes the way
Of holiness so pure,
Empowering us to take the prey
Which darkness would obscure.

And so it matters not even now
Which side the veil we stand,
The Light eternal doth endow
His own to understand.

And walking in the way He leads
Grows brighter day by day,
Since light the darkness supercedes,
Forevermore to stay.

And if it be that Paradise
Shall be my stepping-stone,
In faith I'll rest until the hour
I stand before His throne.
