BEHOLD, I tell you of times before
When life was golden above the sun
And all we knew were the glowing views
Beyond the reach of the zenith’s height,
And angels, Gods, and the Peace of Love
Around us dwelt in their glowing light.
In life ethereal knew we naught
Of th’worth or mettle of any Soul
For Power, Loyalty, Strength, and Will
Were yet untested in peaceful days,
In ancient times when we lived before
Above the arc of heaven.

THERE CAME a day when our Father God
Proposed to us in the glowing light
Of Heaven’s Kingdom a daring plan,
A plan to stretch and extend the soul,
A plan to glorify human’s kind,
A plan to cover in flesh the souls,
Of all who dwelt in those glowing days:
The sons and daughters of Heaven’s Reach.
And cried the innocent host aloud
In joyous praise to our Father God
In happy days when we heard the plan
Above the arc of heaven!

BELOW the stars and the great expanse
Would come the Children of God Above
To learn and grow and to fight and play,
To stretch and sorrow and thrill with joy,
Obey in truth or to slip away.
A Savior Perfect would come below
To save us all from our deaths and hells.
The Son of Man and the Son of Morning
Their voices raised to uptake the role.
Divided then were the Hosts Above
And war was known in those ancient days
Above the arc of heaven.

THE SON OF MAN was a Perfect Soul
And ever true to the Father’s Will
That all should choose what they ought to be
Below the sun and the moon and stars.
The Son of Morning a fair one was,
But Power craved the Forsaken One,
For Promised he, “Not a one be lost,
For I will all of them save!” And then
The Father’s glory demanded he.
And Father said that the First He’d send,
The Son of Man. So the war began
Above the arc of heaven.

TO SAVE the freedom of human choice
We fought the Son of the Morning’s hosts.
With Words of Truth from our Captain’s Lips
We bent their wills and we crashed their lies
And power, loyalty, strength, and will
Were known at last in the Heavens’ Heights
Among the Children of Father God.
His noble knights at the last were known,
Their valor proven in truest deed,
And cast away was the Son of Morn
Beyond the arc of heaven.

THE WORLD continues the war above
And fiercer fights are our lot below
When lies and flatteries sway our kin
Beyond the echoing voice of Truth
That rang throughout the Undying Realms!
The Mission Grand of the Son of Man
Has been completed in every whit
And now the noblest and greatest knights
That proved their mettle in Worlds of Light
Have come below to fulfill the aim
Of Father’s Plan in the fight we face
Below the arc of heaven.
