The Bright Forever Breaking through the clouds that gather, O'er the Christian's natal skies, Distant beams, like floods of glory, Fill the soul with glad surprise; And we almost hear the echo Of the pure and holy throng, In the bright, the bright forever, In the summer land of song. Yet a little while we linger, Ere we reach our journey's end; Yet a little while of labor, Ere the evening shades descend; Then we'll lay us down to slumber, But the night will soon be o'er; In the bright, the bright forever, We shall wake, to weep no more. O the bliss of life eternal! O the long unbroken rest! In the golden fields of pleasure, In the region of the blessed; But, to see our dear Redeemer, And before His throne to fall, There to bear His gracious welcome, Will be sweeter far than all. ~By Fanny Crosby~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Revelation 22:1-5 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
