With Joy, for the life Eternal in 
Christ Jesus 
I shall go forth in the morning, ^ 
In the crimson and the dew, ^ 
In the glint and glow of the sunlight, J 
To buy me garments new. i. 
I shall lie down at evening; 
When my weeds are all outworn. 
Their gorgeous colors faded. 
And their fabric twisted and torn. 
But I shall arise in the sunlight. 
In the realms beyond the blue. 
And wander forth in the morning 
To buy me garments new.
