that holds aloft my soul
And in a clime so far removed from earthly things.
My soul does sing rejoicing in the things
which make the Heavens
And held aloft, my soul will thus become
a radiant thing, so shining in this Light.
The craggy darkness to plummet into depths unknown
Bring out from deep within these unknown depths,
These precious gems of hope and faith that
beat within the breast of man.
