Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #270 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 honour! 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 thoughtlessly 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, For ever fair, for ever 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!
