Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #204 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: There is a glorious world on high Lyrics: 1 There is a glorious world on high,
Resplendent with eternal day;
Faith views the blissful prospect nigh,
While God's own word reveals the way.
2 There shall the fav'rites of the Lord
With never-fading lustre shine.
Surprising honor! vast reward!
Conferr'd on man by love divine.
3 How blest are those, how truly wise,
Who learn and keep the sacred road!
Happy the men, whom heav'n employs
To turn rebellious hearts to God;
4 To win them from the fatal way
Where erring folly thoughtless roves;
And that blest righteousness display,
Which Jesus taught and God approves.
5 The shining firmament shall fade,
And sparkling stars resign their light.
But these shall know nor change nor shade,
Forever fair, forever bright.
6 On wings of faith and strong desire,
O may our spirits daily rise;
And reach at last the shining choir,
In the bright mansions of the skies! Topics: Holy Spirit Faith Languages: English
