LyicsON Zion's glorious summit stood
A num'rous host, redeem'd by blood;
They hymn'd their King in strains divine-
I hear'd the song and strove to join.
Here all who suffer'd sword or flame
For truth or Jesus' lovely name,
Shout vict'ry now, and hail the Lamb!
And bow before the great I AM.
While everlasting ages roll,
Eternal love shall feast their soul,
And scenes of bliss forever new,
Rise in succession to their view.
Here Mary and Manasseh view,
Thy dying thief, and Abrah'm too;
With equal love their spirits flame,
The same their joy, their songs the same.
O what a sweet exalted song,
When ev'ry tribe and ev'ry tongue,
Redeem'd by blood, with Christ appear,
And join in one full chorus there!
My soul anticipates thy day-
Would stretch her wings and soar away,
To aid the song the palm to bear,
And praise my great Redeemer there.
