There is a world we have not seen

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #319 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. There is a world we have not seen, That time shall never dare destroy, Where mortal footstep hath not been, Nor ear hath caught its sounds of joy: There is a region lovelier far Than angels tell or people sing, Brighter than summer's beauties are, And softer than the tints of spring. 2. There is a world, and oh! how blest, Fairer than prophets ever told, And never did an angel guest One half its blessedness unfold: It is all holy and serene, The land of glory and repose; And there, to dim the radiant scene, The tear of sorrow never flows. 3. It is not fanned by summer gale; 'Tis not refreshed by vernal showers; It never needs the moonbeam pale, For there are known no evening hours: No, for this world is ever bright With a pure radiance all its own; The stream of uncreated light Flows round it from the eternal throne. 4. There forms that mortals may not see, Too glorious for the eye to trace, And clad in peerless majesty, Move with unutterable grace: In vain the philosophic eye May seek to view the fair abode, Or find it in the curtained sky: It is the dwelling place of God.

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #932 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 There is a world we have not seen, That wasting time can ne'er destroy, Where mortal footstep hath not been, Nor ear hath caught its sounds of joy. 2 That world to come! and, oh, how blest!-- Fairer than prophets ever told; And never did an angel-guest One half its blessedness unfold. 3 It is all holy and serene,-- The land of glory and repose; And there, to dim the radiant scene, No tear of sorrow ever flows. 4 It is not fanned by summer gale; 'Tis not refreshed by vernal showers It never needs the moonbeam pale, For there are known no evening hours. 5 There forms unseen by mortal eye, Too glorious for our sight to bear, Are walking with their God on high, And waiting our arrival there.
