Christ My Song - 1044
The glory shines before me (Hannah K. Burlingham/
Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
The glory shines before me.
1. The glory shines before me;
I cannot linger here:
though clouds may darken o'er me,
my Father's house is near.
If through this barren wilderness
a little while I roam,
the glory shines before me,
I am not far from home. PDF - Midi
2. Beyond the storms I'm going,
beyond this vale of tears;
beyond the floods o'erflowing,
beyond the changing years.
I'm going to the better land,
by faith long since possessed:
the glory shines before me,
for this is not my rest.
3. The Lamb is there the glory:
the Lamb is there the light.
Affliction's grasp but tore me
from phantoms of the night.
The voice of Jesus calleth me;
my race will soon be run:
the glory shines before me;
the prize will soon be won.
4. The glory shines before me;
I know that all is well:
my Father's care is o'er me,
his praises I would tell;
the love of Christ constraineth me;
his blood hath washed me white;
where Jesus is in glory,
'tis home, and love, and light.
