Author: Horatius Bonar, D.D. Hymnal: Sunshine No. 2 #31 (1904) Hymnal Title: Sunshine No. 2 First Line: Angel voices sweetly singing Refrain First Line: Heav'n at last, heav'n at last Lyrics: 1 Angel voices sweetly singing,
Echoes thro’ the blue dome ringing,
News of wondrous gladness bringing;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last!
Refrain:
Heav’n at last, heav’n at last,
O the joyful story of heav’n at last!
Heav’n at last, heav’n at last,
Endless, boundless glory in heav’n at last!
2 On the jasper threshold standing,
Like a pilgrim safely landing,
See the strange bright scene expanding;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last! [Refrain]
3 Softest voices, silver pealing,
Freshest fragrance, spirit healing,
Happy hymns around us stealing;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last! [Refrain]
4 Now at length the vail is rended,
Now the pilgrimage is ended,
And the saints their thrones ascended;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last! [Refrain]
5 Christ Himself the living splendor,
Christ the sunlight mild and tender;
Praises to the Lamb we render;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Angel voices sweetly singing]
Heaven at Last
