1 The people of the Lord
Are on their way to heaven;
There they obtain their great reward;
The prize will there be given.
2 'Tis conflict here below;
'Tis triumph there, and peace:
On earth we wrestle with the foe;
In heaven our conflicts cease.
3 'Tis gloom and darkness here;
'Tis light and joy above;
There all is pure, and all is clear;
There all is peace and love.
4 There rest shall follow toil,
And ease succeed to care:
The victors there divide the spoil;
They sing and triumph there.
5 Then let us joyful sing:
The conflict is not long:
We hope in heaven to praise our King
In one eternal song.
