Sing with all the saints in glory, sing the resurrection song!
[originally Sing with all the sons of glory…]
Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, to the former days
belong.
All around the clouds are breaking, soon the storms of time
shall cease;
In God’s likeness we, awaking, know the everlasting peace.O
what glory, far exceeding all that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, never that full joy
conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it, there on high our
welcome waits.
Every humble spirit shares it; Christ has passed th’eternal
gates.
Life eternal! heaven rejoices; Jesus lives, Who once was
dead.
Join we now the deathless voices; child of God, lift up your
head!
Patriarchs from the distant ages, saints all longing for their
heaven,
Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, all await the glory
given.
Life eternal! O what wonders crowd on faith; what joy
unknown,
When, amidst earth’s closing thunders, saints shall stand
before the throne!
O to enter that bright portal, see that glowing firmament;
Know, with Thee, O God immortal, “Jesus Christ Whom Thou has
sent."
