Look Up, Ye Saints, With Sweet Surprise

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: Look up, ye saints, with sweet sur­prise Lyrics: 1 Look up, ye saints, with sweet sur­prise, Toward the joy­ful com­ing day, When Je­sus shall des­cend the skies, And form a bright and daz­zling ray. 2 Nations shall in a day be born, And swift, like doves, to Je­sus fly, The church shall know no clouds re­turn, No sor­rows mixing with their joy. 3 The li­on and the lamb shall feed Together in His peace­ful reign; And Zion, blest with heav’n­ly bread, Of pinch­ing wants no more com­plain. 4 The Jew, the Greek, the bond, the free, Shall boast their se­pa­rate rights no more; But join in sweet­est har­mo­ny, Their Lord, their Sav­ior to ad­ore. 5 Thus, ’till a thou­sand years be past, Shall ho­li­ness and peace pre­vail; And ev­ery knee shall bow to Christ, And ev­ery tongue shall Je­sus hail. 6 Then the re­deemed shall mount on high, Where their de­li­ver­ing Prince is gone; And an­gels at His word shall fly, To bless them with the con­quer­or’s crown. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY CHANT Text Sources: The Psalms and Hymns: with catechism, confession of faith and liturgy of the Reformed Dutch Church in North America by John H. Livingston (New York: Daniel D. Smith, 1814)

Author of "Look Up, Ye Saints, With Sweet Surprise" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact.
