(When I soar) swiftly through the veil,
through death's immortal pass I sail.
And passing from a world of fears,
I leave behind my mortal years.
I enter into paradise:
A world withdrawn from sin and vice,
and wear the robes of righteousness,
and turn to men to teach and bless!
I take on immortality,
and enter life eternally
into my mansion well prepared
and live the dreams I never dared!
With God Almighty, now I dwell
with every soul who served Him well.
In happiness and love I live
and all my praise to Him I give!
