Listen in the reader

Hail! blest scenes of endless joy, Where Christ in boundless glory reigns; Where nothing hurtful shall annoy, But gladness fills the happy plains: Free from sin, and free from fear, None e'er shall sigh, or shed a tear.

2 Ten thousand thousands there shall raise Their glad notes, and sing this strain, "Wake the song of grateful praise, "To the Lamb; for he was slain! "Hosannas, loud Hosannas sing, "Hosannas to th' Eternal King."

There in Jesus' presence blest, They fear no death, nor feel a pain; They there shall smile in endless rest, Nor dangers e'er shall threat again. For Jesus reigns, and they shall share With him, in his own glory there.
