Blest are the saints who dwell in light,
And walk with Jesus clothed in white,
Safe landed on that peaceful shore,
Where sin and death are known no more.
They are released from sin, and grief,
Death was their gate to endless life;
And now they do for ever prove
The greatness of their Saviour’s love.
They do his will, his image bear,
Share in his bliss, his glory share
And filled with rapture, here unknown,
They cast their crowns before his throne.
Ah! Lord with tardy steps we creep,
And often through our sins we weep;
Yet sanctify us day by day,
And take us to be blessed as they.
