“Golden light” is how Shelley describes the sun’s color just before sunset. This past Sabbath evening we were walking a trail near our neighborhood, and our eyes were caught by this glow, reflected from the tree trunks.
I’m wondering if Adam and Eve saw golden light like this as they strolled through Eden. Imagine what it must have been like to move among nature untainted by sin.The old country-gospel classic makes me homesick for this place I’ve never been:
We read of a place that’s called heaven
It’s made for the pure and the free
These truths in God’s Word He hath given
How beautiful heaven must be
How beautiful heaven must be
Sweet home of the happy and free
Fair haven of rest for the weary
How beautiful heaven must be
In heaven no drooping nor pining
No wishing for elsewhere to be
God’s light is forever there shining
How beautiful heaven must be
