Lo, what a glorious sight appears

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 293 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

Zion, the city of our God

Author: Anon. Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Zion, the city of our God, How glorious is the place! The Saviour there has his abode, And saints will see his face. 2 There all the fruits of glory grow, And joys that never die; And streams of grace and knowledge flow The soul to satisfy. 3 Come, set your faces Zionward, The sacred road inquire, And let the city of the Lord Be henceforth your desire. 4 The gospel shines to give you light; No longer, then, delay; The Spirit waits to guide you right, And Jesus is the way. 5 O Lord, regard thy people's prayer, Thy promise now fulfill, And young and old by grace prepare To dwell on Zion's hill.

O what hath Jesus bought for me!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravished eyes Life's river all divine I see, And trees of paradise. 2 I see immortal saints in light, Who taste the pleasure there; They all are robed in spotless white, And conquering palms they bear. 3 O what are all my sufferings here, If, Lord, thou count me meet With that enraptured host to appear, And worship at thy feet? 4 Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away; But let me find them all again In that eventful day!
