No more will shadows cling and stay,
No more will shadows cling and stay,
For sunlit dawn will break one day,
For sunlit dawn will break one day,
That hour now holds sway.

A mansion built apart,
A mansion built apart,
Where all the cosmos finds its heart,
A mansion built apart,
A mansion built apart.

Gold the walls, sandalwood the door,
Gold the walls, sandalwood the door,
Crafted by the divine before,
Crafted by the divine before,
Most beautiful, to adore.
A mansion built apart,
A mansion built apart.

So high, this mansion stands,
So high, this mansion stands,
A star within the heavens' hands,
A star within the heavens' hands,
A star within the heavens' hands,
Where moonbeams swing on rainbows' strands,
Where moonbeams swing on rainbows' strands,
Where moonbeams swing on rainbows' strands,
And Lakshmi's coffers now command,
And Lakshmi's coffers now command,
For those who bore life's grievous brand,
For those who bore life's grievous brand,
Find joy that knows no end.
