First Line: There is a flight much greater far
Last Line: Forever pass away.
Subject(s): Ghosts; Mortality; Soul; Supernatural
There is a flight much greater far
Than over land and sea,
To greater heights the soul aspires
Than mortal man shall see;
To realms that lie beyond the stars
Where souls of men are free,
A flight where spirits wing their way
Into Eternity.
In such a flight the Star of Hope
The soul of man doth guide
With Faith and Love, across the wastes
Unto the other side;
By Faith the spirit scales the heights,
While Love doth show the way,
'Til morning breaks and shades of night
Forever pass away.
