Holiest hearts for ages pleading, Never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits; Ev’ry humble spirit shares it, Christ has passed th'eternal gates. 3 Life eternal! heav’n rejoices: Jesus lives who once was dead; Shout with joy, O deathless voices! Child of God, lift up your head! Patriarchs from distant ages, Saints all longing for their heaven, Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, All await the glory giv'n. 4 Life eternal! O what wonders Crowd on faith; what joy unknown, When, amid earth's closing thunders, Saints shall stand before the throne! O to enter that bright portal, See that glowing firmament, Know, with you, O God immortal, Jesus Christ whom you have sent!

That love that made us makes us one, And strangers now are friends. 4 And thus with joy we meet our Lord. His presence, always near, Is in such friendship better known: We see and praise him here. 5 Together met, together bound We'll go our different ways, And as his people in the world, We'll live and speak his praise.
