Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 288 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!
The earth and seas are passed away,
And the old rolling skies.
2 From the third heaven, where God resides,
That holy, happy place,
The New Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.
3 Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing;
Ye saints, behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King!
4 The God of glory down to men
Removes his blest abode;
Men are the objects of his love,
And he their gracious God.
5 His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye;
And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,
And death itself, shall die.
6 How bright the vision! O, how long
Shall this glad hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day! Topics: Reward of Saints Used With Tune: ST. PETER
