No more in earthen vessels

lyricist: Emma Frances Shuttleworth Bevan
Composer: German

No more in earthen vessels

God’s treasure then shall be

But in unclouded beauty

Thou

Lord

wilt shine thru me.

Afar thru that gold vessel

God’s glory shineth bright;

There’ll be no need of sunshine

For God will be the light.

With Christ

the Stone most precious

God’s city shall be fair;

And He shall shine as jasper

In cloudless glory there:

Undimmed in that great vessel

The glory of that light

Illum’ning with its fulness

The earth in radiance bright.

All in His new creation

God’s glory there shall see;

The vessel for that shining

The Lamb’s own Bride shall be:

A golden vessel glorious

That all who see adore

God in the Lamb in glory

Expressed forevermore.
