Lyics

High in yonder realms of light,

Dwell the raptured saints above;

Far beyond our feeble sight,

Happy in Immanuel's love.

Once they knew, like us below,

Pilgrims in this vale of tears

Torturing pain and heavy wo,

Gloomy doubts, distressing fears.



All is tranquil and serene,

Calm and undisturb'd repose;

There no cloud can intervene,

There no angry tempest blows.

Ev'ry tear is wiped away,

Sighs no more shall heave the breast;

Night is lost in endless day,

Sorrow in eternal rest.
