Representative Text

1 They that be wise shall shine,
They that be wise shall shine,
They that be wise shall shine
Above the stars,
Above the stars
Of the firmament,
To all eternity.

2 They that be wise shall shine,
Filled with pure love divine,
They shall indeed be mine,
When I shall come,
When I shall come
From the throne on high,
To take my jewels home.

3 They that be wise shall bless,
Turn souls to righteousness,
They shall my name confess,
High over all,
High over all
In the earth and sky,
To all eternity.
