#467

 

 1  No more in earthen vessels

       God's treasure then shall be,

    But in unclouded beauty

       Thou, Lord, wilt shine thru me.

 

 2  Afar thru that gold vessel

       God's glory shineth bright;

    There'll be no need of sunshine,

       For God will be the light.

 

 3  With Christ, the Stone most precious,

       God's city shall be fair;

    And He shall shine as jasper

       In cloudless glory there:

 

 4  Undimmed in that great vessel,

       The glory of that light,

    Illum'ning with its fulness

       The earth in radiance bright.

 

 5  All in His new creation

       God's glory there shall see;

    The vessel for that shining

       The Lamb's own Bride shall be:

 

 6  A golden vessel glorious,

       That all who see adore

    God in the Lamb in glory

       Expressed forevermore.
