It’s come, It’s come, It’s come, It’s come
Sleepers, awake!
If you open your eyes, you’ll see it’s heaven

I love how the music builds slowly, like the breaking of a new day, on this one. The lyrics are spare, but have a praise-like intensity. JOY seems to bubble up and overflow from some deep holy place. I also love how it breaks off unexpectedly – as if awakened suddenly from a beautiful dream – leaving only the pipe organ playing, like the haunting after-glow of a Divine encounter. What a wonderful finish to a wonderful album.
