Representative Text

1 As the distant streams uniting,
To the ocean onward move,
So our songs of joy are blending
With the songs of those above.

Refrain:
Rolling onward, sweeping downward,
At the golden gate they meet;
Songs from earth and songs in glory
Break as one, at Jesus’ feet.

2 ‘Tis the chorus of an army
Doing battle for the Lord,
‘Tis the echo of the martyrs
Who have conquered thro’ His word. [Refrain]

3 ‘Tis the chorus of the faithful
Pressing on to win the prize,
‘Tis the anthem of the millions
Gathered safe beyond the skies. [Refrain]

4 May the praise that now is offered
From his holy place of prayer,
Rise to heaven, and sweetly mingle
With the songs of angels there. [Refrain]
