Arrival At The City

(albüm: I Choose You - 2004)

While they were thus drawing towards the gate
Behold! A company of the heavenly host came out to meet them
There came out also at this time several of the Kings trumpeters
Clothed in white and shining rainment
Who with melodious noises and loud
Made even the heavens to echo with their sound
These trumpeters saluted the pilgrams with ten thousand welcomes from the world
With shouting and sound of trumpet
Signifying how welcome they were into their company
And with what gladness they came to meet them

Now when they came to the gate
The pilgrams each handed in their certificate which they had received in the beginning
These therefore were carried into the King
Who when He had read them said "Where are the people?"
To Whom it was answered "They are standing outside the gate."
The King then commanded to open the gate

Now I saw in my dream
That these pilgrams went in at the gate
And as they entered they were tranfigured
And they had rainment put on that shown like gold
Then I heard in my dream, that all the bells in the city rang again for joy
And it was said within
"Enter ye into the joy of our Lord!"
