O scenes of heavenly joy!
The Father's house above,
Where cloudless peace
without alloy,
Fills all that home of love.
There glory bright and fair,
Shines with celestial beam;
For He who suffered
once is there,
Its centre and its theme.
The Father's full delight
Is centred in the Son,
And countless tongues
in heaven unite
To tell what He hath done.
The Lamb enthroned shall there
Engage each raptured heart,
While myriad saints Christ's
likeness bear
And have with Him their part.
'Tis He who made us meet
With saints in light to dwell;
And now we chant
His praises sweet,
Whose love we know so well.
E'en now we taste the love,
And know the mighty power,
By which we'll rise
to realms above
When waiting time is o'er.
Praise Him again, again ---
For us the cross He bore;
Now all is Yea, and all Amen,
In Him for evermore.
