Heaven is the seat of light and bliss,
Where perfect spirits dwell;
There they behold the Saviour’s face,
And all his glories tell.
In rapturous songs to Jesus’ name,
They grateful spend their breath;
Eternally his grace proclaim,
Who saves from sin and death.
Prostrate before his feet they lie,
And high their voices raise;
Worthy the Lamb, once slain they cry,
And give him endless praise.
Let lasting honours crown his head,
Who bought us with his blood;
And every tongue and nation spread
His triumphs all abroad.
When shall we join the sacred throng;
And worship with them there;
Lofty like theirs shall be our song,
And God vouchsafe to hear.
