There on God the saints are calling,
With the voice of praise and joy.

3 There no light of sun is needed,
Blessed city to illume;

There no gleam of moon is heeded,
For no night doth spread its gloom.
4 There God's glory is outbeaming,
In its splendor, pure and bright;
There the Lamb of God is gleaming,—
Heav'nly city's fadeless light!

Sardis.

The heavenly Host praising the Lamb.
1 LO, in yon glorious world behold
Victors, array'd in light ;—

All joyful with their harps of gold,
They praise their Savior's might.
Hark, how their songs of praise resound,
Glad songs, which heav'n re-echoes round!
They sing the Lamb of sacrifice,

Who for their ransom dies!

2 Sing they the Victor from the tomb,
Whom death could not retain,
Uprising to his heav'nly home,

The Lord of life, once slain !—

"We hail Thee, Savior! conqu'ring King!
And all thy might and glory sing!

And we'll extol thy grace and power
In songs forevermore!"
