Lyics

What's this that steals, that steals upon my frame!

Is it death?  Is it death?

That soon will quench, will quench this vital flame?

Is it death?  Is it death?

If this be death, I soon shall be

From ev'ry pain and sorrow free;

I shall the King of glory see,

All is well - All is well.



Weep not, my friends, my friends, weep not for me,

All is well - All is well.

My sins are pardon'd, pardon'd I am free,

All is well - All is well.

There's not a cloud that doth arise,

To hide my Saviour from my eyes;

I soon shall mount the upper skies,

All is well - All is well.



Tune, tune your harps, your harps, ye saints in glory,

All is well - All is well.

I will rehearse the pleasing story,

All is well - All is well.

Bright angels are from glory come,

They're round my bed, they're in my room,

They wait to waft my spirit home,

All is well - All is well.



Hark!  Hark!  My Lord, my Lord and Master calls me,

All is well - All is well.

I soon shall see, shall see his face in glory,

All is well - All is well.

Farewell, dear friends, adieu, adieu!

I can no longer stay with you,

My glitt'ring crown appears in view,

All is well - All is well.



Hail, hail all hail!  All hail!  Ye blood-wash'd throng;

Saved by grace - Saved by grace.

I've come to join, to join your rapturous song,

Saved by grace - Saved by grace.

All, all is peace and joy divine,

And heaven and glory now are mine;

All hallelujah to the Lamb,

All is well - All is well.
