English Christian Song | "God's Glory Shines From the East"

I
Only when God enters the new heaven and earth
does He reveal the other part of His glory first in Canaan,
causing a glimmer of light to shine forth in the whole earth,
sunk in the pitchy darkness of night.
So the whole earth may come to the light,
men may come to draw strength from the power of the light,
allowing God's glory to increase
and appear anew to every nation, every nation.
So all humanity may realize that
God has long ago come to the human world
and brought His glory from Israel to the East,
brought His glory from Israel to the East, to the East.
For His glory shines from the East,
brought over from the Age of Grace to this day.
But it was from Israel that He departed
and from there that He arrived in the East.
From there that He arrived in the East.
II
Only when the light of the East slowly turns white
will the darkness on earth begin to turn to light;
only then will man discover
God has long ago gone from Israel and is rising anew in the East.
Having once descended into Israel and later departed from it,
God cannot again be born into Israel,
because His work leads all of the universe
and lightning flashes straight from East to West.
For this reason He Has descended in the East
and brought Canaan to the people of the East.
God shall bring people from all over the earth
to the land of Canaan, to the land of Canaan.
So in the land of Canaan
God continues to issue forth utterances to control the universe.
At this time, there is no light in all the earth apart from the land of Canaan.
All men are imperiled by hunger and cold.
