224. Come, let us lift our joyful eyes

1 Come, let us lift our joyful eyes
Up to the courts above,
And smile to see the Father there,
Upon a throne of love.
The peaceful gates of heav'nly bliss
Are opened by the Son;
High let us raise our notes of praise,
And reach th' almighty throne;
High let us raise our notes of praise,
And reach the almighty throne.

2 O heaven! O land of pure delight!
Where saints immortal reign,
Where endless day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain,
When shall my soul, from darkness free,
To thy bright seats remove,
Fore'er to praise my dearest Lord,
In endless peace and love;
Fore'er to praise my dearest Lord,
In endless peace and love.

3 To Him who sits upon the throne,
The God who all things made,
And to the Lamb for sinners slain,
Be endless honors paid.
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory as it was and is,
And shall be evermore;
Be glory, as it was and is,
And shall be evermore.
