“Content, our life advancing
To a life that shall abide,
Each flame its worth enhancing,
The soul is glorified.

To bright and living wine,
The golden draught we drink then,
And stars ourselves shall shine.
Love released, lives woundless,
No separation more;
While life swells free and boundless
As a sea without a shore.
One night of glad elation,
One joy that cannot die,
And the sun of all creation
Is the face of the Most High.”
― Hymns to the Night
