Easter 7th: Sing With All the Saints in Glory - CBW III 406

Join us on a musical journey through the seasons of Christ: Lent & Easter

Sing With All the Saints in Glory (1770th year of our Lord)

Sing with all the saints in glory,
Sing the resurrection song.
Death and sorrow, earth's dark story,
To the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking,
Soon the storms of time shall cease.
In God's likeness we awaken,
Knowing everlasting peace.

Oh what glory far exceeding,
All that eye has yet perceived.
Holiest hearts for ages pleading,
Never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
There on high our welcome waits.
Every humble spirit shares it,
Christ has passed the eternal gate.

Life eternal, heaven rejoices.
Jesus lives who once was dead.
Shout with joy, O deathless voices.
Child of God life up your head.
Patriarchs from distant ages,
Saints all longing for their heaven.
Prophets, psalmists, seers and sages,
All await the glory given.

Life eternal. O what wonders,
Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When amid earth's closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne.
O to enter that bright portal,
See that glowing firmament.
Know with you, O God immortal,
Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
