We shall sing to our lyres, With the heavenly choirs, And our Saviour in glory adore. 7 Hallelujah we sing, To our Father and King, And his rapturous praises repeat, To the Lamb that was slain, Hallelujah again, Sing all heaven, and fall at his feet! 8 In assurance of hope, We to Jesus look up, Till his banner unfurl'd in the air; From our graves we shall see, And cry out, "It is he," And fly up to acknowledge him there.
