Ev'ry humble spirit shares it; Christ has passed the eternal gates. 3. Life eternal! heav'n rejoices; Jesus lives, who once was dead. Shout with joy, O deathless voices! Child of God, lift up your head! Life eternal! O what wonders crowd on faith; what joy unknown, when, amidst earth's closing thunders, saints shall stand before the throne!

E'en now by faith we join our hands with those that went before, and greet the blood-besprinkled bands on the eternal shore. 4. Our spirits too shall quickly join, like theirs with glory crowned, and shout to see our Captain's sign, to hear his trumpet sound. O that we now might grasp our Guide! O that the word were given! Come, Lord of Hosts, the waves divide, and land us all in heaven. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN
