  1. After this dismal and dark world
    Eternal glory waits
    A country of eternal joy
    No mortal eye hath seen

  2. Our eyes long to see half Thy joy
    Beautiful city, bright
    How our hearts would have wished to leave
    This world, the vale of tears

  3. No sickness nor pain will be there
    No sorrow will be there,
    It's health and joy e'en all day long,
    Pleasures that never end

  4. No night in those fair cities bright
    It is perpetual day
    For sin, the source of all the curse
    Will not enter therein

  5. May this cherished hope of heaven
    Set all our hearts aflame
    Grant to us that this faith and love
    Lift high our thoughts to God

  6. O Lord, in mercy, make us meet
    For Thy bright courts above,
    And grant that our hearts may prepare
    To join the heavenly throng. Amin.
