See the Captain of salvation,
Leads his armies up the sky:
Rise above the conflagration,
Leave the world to burn and die.
Lo! I see the fair immortals
Enter to the blissful seats;
Glory opens wide her portals,
And the Saviour's train admits.
All the chosen of the Father,
All for whom the Lamb was slain,
All the church appear together,
Washed from ev'ry sinful stain.
There is found no vacant station,
Nor a single throne unfilled;
All enjoy the same salvation,
Whom he loved, and bought, and sealed.
His dear smiles the place enlighten,
More than thousand suns could do ;
All around his presence brighten,
Changeless, yet forever new.
Countless millions, sons of heaven,
Praise the Triune Deity:
Hymns of worship and thanksgiving
Echo through immensity.
Blessed state! beyond conception!
Who its vast delights can tell?
May it he my blissful portion,
With my Saviour there to dwell!
