The praises of redeeming love they sang, and heaven's whole orb with hallelujahs rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, peace upon earth to people of good-will. 4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran to see the wonder of our God made man, and found, with Joseph and the blessèd Maid, her son, the Saviour, in a manger laid; amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim, the first apostles of his infant fame. 5 Like Mary, let us ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving humankind; trace we the Babe, who has retrieved our loss, from the poor manger to the bitter cross; tread in his steps, assisted by his grace, until in heaven God's people take their place. 6 There may we hope, the angelic thrones among, to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song: he that was born upon this joyful day around us all his glory shall display; saved by his love, unceasing we shall sing eternal praise to heaven's almighty King.

Come let us go to heaven;--our guide Is Christ who lived, is Christ who died, And rose again; His staff and rod, Through life and death, will lead to God. Come, let us go to heaven;--forsake Sin, earth, and hell, and gladly take His easy yoke, His pleasant load, And brave the dangers of the road. 121 Come, let us go to heaven;--and press On through the howling wilderness; Yet fear not, little flock, though foes Without, within, your course oppose. Come, let us go to heaven,--no power, Not Satan roaring to devour, Nor all his hosts, can harm, for ye, Through Christ, shall more than conquerors be. Come, let us go to heaven;--and meet Once and for ever, round His feet; Yea, in Christ's kingdom, as His own, Sit down with Him upon His throne. Can these things be?--they are, are sure To all who to the end endure; While unbelief cries, "can they be?" Come, let us go to heaven and see.

Whom will the Lord admit to dwell So near his throne of grace? 2 The man that walks in pious ways, And works with righteous hands; That trusts his Maker’s promis'd grace And follows his commands. 3 He speaks the meaning of his heart, Nor slanders with his tongue; Will scarce believe an ill report, Nor do his neighbour wrong. 4 The wealthy sinner he contemns, Loves all that fear the Lord; And tho' to his own hurt he swears, Still he performs his word. 5 His hands disdain a golden bribe, And never wrong the poor; This man shall dwell with God on earth, And find his heaven secure.
