A7  D    G   D      Em D   Bm A
And have the bright im-men-si-ties

Bm Em     D   Em7 A7  D
Re-ceived our ri- sen Lord,

A7    D     G     D     Em  D   Bm A
Where light years frame the Ple-ia-des

Bm  Em    D Em7 A7   D
And point O-ri- on’s sword?

Bm F#m  G   A    A7  D    Bm    A
Do flam-ing suns His foot-steps trace

A7    D     E7   Bm  A
Thro’ corri-dors sub-lime,

A7  D    G  D  Em  D    Bm  A
The Lord of in-ter-stel-lar space

Bm  Em  D    A7    D
And con-quer-or of time?


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
And have the bright immensities
Received our risen Lord,
Where light years frame the Pleiades
And point Orion’s sword?
Do flaming suns His footsteps trace
Thro’ corridors sublime,
The Lord of inter stellar space
And conqueror of time?

[Verse 2]
The heav’n that hides Him from our sight
Knows neither near nor far;
A little candle sheds its light
As surely as a star.
And where His loving people meet
To share the gift divine,
There stands He with unhurrying feet;
There heav’nly splendors shine.
