This seems to follow on from "One Day" - another pastoral kind of love song. We have definitely veered from the Biblical story of mankind, unless perhaps these bits of peaceful beauty are an expression of the christ force that is the only true alternative to the wars brought about by the forces of Satan...or some such something as that, but you really have to stretch.
In this piece, a guiding hand is mentioned again - leading one to another land. Interesting use of "Horizons come to sip wine", though the song "Horizons" on the album "Foxtrot" was written by Steve Hackett. The "veiled mist reveals the wandering ship upon the reef, the albatross flies to the stern" is evocative of the song "Seven Stones" from the album "Nursery Cryme", (as well, of course, as the Ryme of the Ancient Mariner") and here the truth seems to be the honest truth of the Mountains rather than the manufactured truth of the Truth Factories from "In Hiding".
