Beyond the glittering, starry skies,
Far as th' eternal hills,
There, in the boundless worlds of light,
Our dear Redeemer dwells.
Legions of angels round his throne
In countless armies shine;
At his right hand, with golden harps,
They offer songs divine.
“Hail, glorious Prince of peace,” they cry,
“Whose unexampled love
Moved thee to quit those glorious realms,
And royalties above.”
“Whilst He did condescend, on earth,
To suffer rude disdain;
They threw their honours at His feet,
And waited in His train.”
Through all his travels here below,
They did his steps attend;
Oft wondering how, or where, at last,
This mystic scene would end!
They saw his heart transfixed with wounds,
And viewed the crimson gore;
They saw him break the bars of death,
Which none e'er broke before.
They brought his chariot from above,
To bear him to his throne;
Clapped their triumphant wings, and cried,
“The glorious work is done.”
*** alt vers
Beyond the glittering, starry globes,
Far as th' eternal hills,
There, in the boundless worlds of light,
Our dear Redeemer dwells.
