From glory unto glory!
Be this our joyous song
As on the King’s own highway
We bravely march along!
O word of stirring cheer
As dawns the solemn brightness
Of one more glad new year.
Our own belovèd Master
Hath many things to say.
Look forward to His teaching
Unfolding day by day;
To whispers of His Spirit
To insight clear and sweet
To blessèd consolation
While resting at His feet.
Our faith hath seen the King.
We own His matchless beauty
Adoringly we sing;
But He hath more to show us!
O thought of untold bliss!
And on we press rejoicing
In blessèd hope to this:
To marvelous outpourings
Of treasures new and old
To largess of His bounty
Paid in the King’s own gold
To glorious expansion
Of mysteries of grace
To radiant unveilings
Of brightness from His face.
What great things He hath done
What wonders He hath shown us
What triumphs He hath won!
We marvel at the record
Of blessings of the year!
But sweeter still than Christmas
Rings out His promise clear—
That greater things
far greater
Our longing eyes shall see!
We can but wait and wonder
What greater things shall be!
But glorious fulfillments
Rejoicingly we claim
While pleading in the power
Of His prevailing name.
What mighty blessings crown
The lives for which our Lord hath laid
His own so freely down!
Omnipotence to keep us
Omniscience
too
to guide
Jehovah’s blessèd presence
Within us to abide!
The fullness of His blessing
Encompasseth our way;
The fullness of His promise
Crowns every brightening day;
The fullness of His glory
Is beaming from above
While more and more we realize
The fullness of His love.
Without a shade of care
Because the Lord who loves us
Will every burden bear;
Because we trust Him fully
And know that He will guide
And know that He will keep us
At His belovèd side.
Though tribulation fall
It cannot touch our treasure
When Christ is All in All!
Whatever lies before us
There can be naught to fear
For what are pain and sorrow
When Jesus Christ is near?
O marvels of the Word!
With open face beholding
The glory of the Lord
We
even we (O wonder!)
Are changed into the same
The image of our Savior
To glorify His name.
Abiding in His presence
And walking in the light
And seeking to do always
What is pleasing in His sight;
We look to Him to keep us
All glorious within
Because the blood of Jesus
Is cleansing from all sin.
The things behind forgetting
We only gaze before
From glory unto glory
That shineth more and more
Because our Lord hath said it
That such shall be our way
(O splendor of the promise!)
Unto the perfect day.
Our fellow travelers still
Are gathering on the journey!
The bright electric thrill
Of quick
instinctive union
More frequent and more sweet
Shall swiftly pass from heart to heart
In true and tender beat.
And closer yet
and closer
The golden bonds shall be
Enlinking all who love our
Lord in pure sincerity;
And wider yet
and wider
Shall circling glory glow
As more and more are taught our
God’s mighty love to know.
O ye who seek the Savior
Look up in faith and love;
Come up into the sunshine
So bright and warm above!
No longer tread the valley
But
clinging to His hand
Ascend the shining summits
And view the glorious land.
Our harp notes should be sweeter
Our trumpet tones more clear
Our anthems ring so grandly
That all the world must hear!
O royal be our music
For who hath cause to sing
Like choruses of saved ones
The children of the King?
O
let our adoration
For all that He hath done
Peal out beyond the heavens
While voice and life are one;
And let our consecration
Be real
and deep
and true.
O even now our hearts bow
And joyful vows renew!
In full and glad surrender
We give ourselves to Thee
Thine utterly
and only
And evermore to be!
O Son of God
who lov’st us
We will be Thine alone
Our being and possessions
Shall henceforth be Thine own!
Now onward
ever onward
From strength to strength we go
While grace for grace abundant
Shall from His fullness flow
To glory’s full fruition
From glory’s foretaste here
Until His very presence
Crown happiest new year.
