Lyics

Lo; the seal of death is breaking;

Those who slept its sleep are waking;

Heaven opes its portals fair!

Hark! the harps of God are ringing;

Hark! the seraph's hymn is flinging 

Music on im-mor-tal air.



There, no more at eve declining,

Suns without a cloud are shining

O'er the land of life and love;

There the founts of life are flowing,

Flowers unknown to time are blowing,

In that radiant scene above.
