#982Lo, what a glorious sight appears
Hymn Display
1
Lo, what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!
The earth and seas are passed away,
And the old rolling skies.
2
From the third heaven, where God resides,
That holy, happy place,
The New Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.
3
Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing;
Yea, sinners, behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King!
4
The God of glory down to men
Removes his blest abode;
Men are the objects of his love,
And he their precious God.
5
His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye;
And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,
And death itself, shall die.
6
How bright the vision! O, how long
Shall this glad hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day!
