The thrice-repeated vision seals
The truth inviolably sure;
Drawn up again to heaven, it tells
That all in that bright place are pure:
Nothing unclean can enter there;
But whom the Lord hath sanctified
Shall mount, and meet him in the air
And shine forever at his side.
The thrice-repeated vision seals
