Millennial Harp 8

Advent (continued)

Studio

1See how they my Jesus crowd.

2How his glory they shall share.

3Don't you see the heavens open, And the saints in glory there?

4Shouts of triumph bursting round you, Glory, glory, glory here!

5Come backsliders tho' you've pierced him, And have caused his church to mourn;

6You may yet regain free pardon, If you will to him return.

7Now behold each loving spirit Shout the praise of his dear name,

8View the smiles of their dear Jesus, While his presence feeds the flame.

9There we'll range the fields of pleasure, By our dear Redeemer's side,

10Shouting, glory, glory, glory! While eternal ages glide.
