FROM glory unto glory!” Thank God that even

The starry words are shining out, our heavenly way to cheer!

From “glory that excelleth” all that human heart hath known,

Our “onward, upward,” shall begin in the presence of the throne.

“From glory unto glory” of loveliness and light.

Of music and of rapture, of power and of sight;

“From glory unto glory” of knowledge and of love

Shall be the joy of progress awaiting us above.

“From glory unto glory” that ever lies before,

 Still wondering, adoring, rejoicing more and more;

Still following where He leadeth, from shining field to field,

Himself the goal of glory, revealer and revealed!

Then let our hearts be surely fixed where truest joys are found,

And let our burning, loving praise yet more and more abound;

And gazing on the “things not seen,” eternal in the skies,

“From glory unto glory,” O Savior, let us  rise!
