Sweet Surprises

Author: T. T. Bacheller Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 1 #177 (1890) First Line: Sweet surprises wait the christian Refrain First Line: Let us hear the Spirit, whisp'ring Lyrics: 1 Sweet surprises wait the christian, In the fathers home on high; Music, earthly ear hath heard not, Scenes, too bright for mortal eye. Chorus: Let us hear the Spirit, whisp'ring Of the heav'nly joys, to come; Live by faith in him who saved us, Till we reach that glorious home. 2 Loftiest flights of human fancy, Cannot grasp a single trace; Of the heav'n pervading glory, Beaming from the Savior's face. [Chorus] 3 Brighter than the piercing sun-rays, Clearer than the moon's pure light, Is the glory, grand, eternal, Of that land that knows no night. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Sweet surprises wait the christian]
