Jesse’s Verse:
REDEMPTION BAND
God’s light divine
'Will brightly shine
When Sun and Moon
And Stars are gone.
Redemption’s Band
In Glory Land
Will sense the bright
Day’s Endless Dawn.
When pole to pole
Earth fails to roll,
And pass to
The Great Unknown,
Redemption’s Band
In Glory Land
Will sing around
The Great White Throne.
(Isaiah 51:11.)
