Glory
Language: English
Strike free, oh Time, Strike free my fettered hands; I raise my head with Glory's cry And bow to none nor bend the knee; My voice has reached that Far sky. Reserve for those who walk in life The pity, comfort, love and tears, Time crowns my soul with azure blooms, I stand reborn, Windswept of fears. Rejoice with me, Rejoice that I am Here; My feet no longer need the sod. Look up For I am marching in the clouds with God.
