Arrival At The City - Point of Grace

While they were thus drawing towards the gate

Behold!

A company of the heavenly host came out to meet them

There came out also at this time several of the Kings trumpeters

Clothed in white and shining rainment

Who with melodious noises and loud

Made even the heavens to echo with their sound

These trumpeters saluted the pilgrams with ten thousand welcomes

From the world

With shouting and sound of trumpet

Signifying how welcome they were into their company

And with what gladness they came to meet them

Now when they came to the gate

The pilgrams each handed in their certificate which they had received

In the beginning

These therefore were carried into the King

Who when He had read them said «Where are the people?»

To Whom it was answered «They are standing outside the gate.»

The King then commanded to open the gate

Now I saw in my dream

That these pilgrams went in at the gate

And as they entered they were tranfigured

And they had rainment put on that shown like gold

Then I heard in my dream, that all the bells in the city rang again

For joy

And it was said within

«Enter ye into the joy of our Lord!»
