Climbing up the steeps of glory,
Loved ones gone before—
See! They wave their hands and call us,
Calling evermore.
“Come up higher, sister, brother,
To the angel-shore;
Live for Jesus, live for glory,
Live to die no more.”
See! With radiant look thy linger
By the gate so fair;
Wave their golden palms, and bid us
Strive to meet them there.
“Come up higher, sister, brother,
To the angel-shore;
Live for Jesus, live for glory,
Live to die no more.”
All their toils on earth are over.
Now with joy they stand;
Hear them calling, ever calling,
From the silent land.
“Come up higher, sister, brother,
To the angel-shore;
Live for Jesus, live for glory,
Live to die no more.”
