There is a world we have not seen

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #932 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The World to Come Lyrics: 1 There is a world we have not seen, That wasting time can ne'er destroy, Where mortal footstep hath not been, Nor ear hath caught its sounds of joy. 2 That world to come! and, oh, how blest!-- Fairer than prophets ever told; And never did an angel-guest One half its blessedness unfold. 3 It is all holy and serene,-- The land of glory and repose; And there, to dim the radiant scene, No tear of sorrow ever flows. 4 It is not fanned by summer gale; 'Tis not refreshed by vernal showers It never needs the moonbeam pale, For there are known no evening hours. 5 There forms unseen by mortal eye, Too glorious for our sight to bear, Are walking with their God on high, And waiting our arrival there.
