105. Half Was Never Told

1 Led by God’s almighty hand
We are marching to a land
Deck’d with glories mortal eyes did ne’er behold;
And we’ve said, “One day will pay
Me to climb the rugged way,”
But the half was never told.

Chorus:
O the half was never gold,
God has wonders to unfold,
Till we meet at His right hand,
We can never understand
For the half was never told.

2 WE can never comprehend
All the good our Lord hath plann’d,
But their value cannot be compar’d with gold;
God’s free bounty we shall share,
Treasures rich and treasures rare,
But the half was never told. [Chorus]

3 We have heard sweet voices sing,
Till the domes of heaven ring,
And fair nature did her harmonies unfold;
But the songs of angel choir
Strike a chord divinely high’r,
For the half was never told. [Chorus]

4 Soon we leave the shores of time,
Mount to God’s bright sunny clime,
And possess the land by prophets long foretold;
There will dawn one nightless day,
And forever we shall stay,
Yet the half was never told. [Chorus]
