181 - Sing with All the Sons of Glory

Posted in Song Book

      1. Sing with all the Sons of glory,
          Sing the resurrection song.
          Death and sorrow, earth's dark story,
          To the former days belong.
          All around the clouds are breaking,
          Soon the storms of time shall cease;
          In God's likeness, man awaking
          Knows the everlasting peace.

      2. O What glory, far exceeding
          All that eye has yet perceived.
          Holiest hearts for ages pleading,
          Never that full joy conceived.
          God has promised, Christ prepares it,
          There on high our welcome waits;
          Every humble spirit shares it.
          Christ has passed the eternal gates.

      3. Life eternal! Heaven rejoices:
          Jesus lives, who once was dead;
          Join, O man, the deathless voices;
          Child of God, lift up thy head!
          Patriarchs from the distant ages,
          Saints all longing for their heaven,
          Prophets, psalmists, seers and sages,
          All await the glory giv'n.
