Sing with All the Saints in Glory

Verse 1

Sing with all
the saints in glory,
sing the resurrection song!
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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

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!”
