Lyics

Our souls are in the Saviour's hand,

And he will keep them still;

And you and I shall surely stand

With him on Zion's hill.



Him eye to eye we there shall see,

Our face like his shall shine;

Oh! what a glorious company,

When saints and angels join!



Oh! what a joyful meeting there,

In robes of white array!

Palms in our hand we all shall bear,

And crowns that ne'er decay!



When we've been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We've no less days to sing God's praise,

Than when we first begun!



Then let us hasten to the day

When all shall be brought home:

Come, O Redeemer! come away!

O Jesus! quickly come!
