1 In heav’n above, in heav’n above,
Where God our Father dwells:
How boundless there the blessèdness!
No tongue its greatness tells.
There face to face, and full and free,
The everliving God we see--
We seew the Lord of hosts!
2 In heav’n above, in heav’n above,
What glory deep and bright!
The splendor of the noonday sun
Grows pale before its light;
That mighty sun that ne’er goes down,
Before whose face clouds never frown,
Is God the Lord of hosts!
3 In heav’n above, in heav’n above,
No tears of pain are shed;
There nothing there can fade or die;
Life’s fullness 'round is spread,
And, like an ocean, joy o’erflows,
And with immortal mercy glows
Our God the Lord of hosts!
4 In heav’n above, in heav’n above,
God hath a joy prepared,
Which mortal ear hath never heard,
Nor mortal vision shared,
Which never entered mortal breast,
'Tis God the Lord of hosts!
