Description

All things carved in wood and stone
Are words engraved to stand alone
Until the earth and heav'n are worn
And truer words in hearts are born

And flesh cleaves once again to bone
The human soul no more a drone
No more in sin to be forlorn
But welcomed as the veil is torn

And separated now to hone
The life within that did atone
That at the end there to adorn
The truer sons in love reborn
