And the song of an­gels re­sound­ed,
And the song of an­gels re­sound­ed,
The storm­ing ages have with­stood.
Veil the day’s dis­tract­ing sights,
Millions of years shall pass away,
The bright­ness of a ho­ly death­bed blend­ing
That calls us from the earth away
Naught of earth un­moved can stand—
Soon we’ll reach the gates of glo­ry

eter­nal

Then an eter­nal throng,
Then an eter­nal throng,
Piercing mists, around, above;
Caging in­to be­ing earth and sea and sky
The day of march has come;
God, my Sav­ior, look on me;
Christ is King, eter­nal King;
When joys of day­light seem so like a dream;
Thou art my glo­ry, and Thou art
One eter­nal song of love.
How pure the soul must be
Praise the Lord! from earth­ly strug­gles
Praise the Lord! from earth­ly strug­gles
Who from their roc­ky hold can wrench?
Living stars to view be brought
While still in blas­phe­mies they own
Hear us, O Fa­ther, gra­cious and for­giv­ing,
The Sav­ior bids us watch and pray,
Hold to God’s un­chang­ing hand.
We are going home to glo­ry,
