O that will be joyful,
Joyful, joyful, joyful;
O that will be joyful,
When we meet to part no more.

4 Teachers, too, shall meet above,
And our pastors, whom we love,
Shall meet to part no more.
O that will be joyful,

Joyful, joyful, joyful;
O that will be joyful,

When we meet to part no more.

5 O how happy we shall be,
For our Saviour we shall see
Exalted on His throne.
O that will be joyful,
Joyful, joyful, joyful;
O that will be joyful,

When we meet to part no more.

6 There we all shall sing with joy, And eternity employ

In praising Christ the Lord.
Ở that will be joyful,
Joyful, joyful, joyful;
O that will be joyful,

When we meet to part no more.

'That great city, the holy Jerusalem.'

1 We speak of the realms of the blest, That country so bright and so fair, And oft are its glories confessed;

But what must it be to be there!

2 We speak of its pathways of gold,
Its walls decked with jewels most rare,
Its wonders and pleasures untold;

But what must it be to be there!
3 We speak of its freedom from sin,
From sorrow, temptation, and care,
From trials without and within;

But what must it be to be there!

4 We speak of its service of love,

The robes which the glorified wear,
The church of the first-born above;
But what must it be to be there!
5 Do Thou, Lord, 'midst pleasure or woe,
For heaven our spirits prepare;
And shortly we also shall know
And feel what it is to be there.

6, 4; 6, 7, 6, 4.

• Thine eyes
that is very far off!'

shall behold the land

1 THERE is a happy land,

Far, far away,

Where saints in glory stand,
Bright, bright as day:

O how they sweetly sing,
Worthy is our Saviour King!
Loud let His praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye.

2 Come to this happy land,

Come, come away;

Why will

ye doubting stand,

Why still delay?

O we shall happy be,

When, from sin and sorrow free,
Lord, we shall live with Thee,
Blest, blest for aye.

3 Bright in that happy land
Beams every eye;
Kept by a Father's hand,
Love cannot die:

On then to glory run;

Be a crown and kingdom won;
And, bright above the sun,
Reign, reign for aye.
