Heaven. Rev. 7. 15-17; 2 Cor. 5. 1; Heb. 6. 20
1
Ye souls that trust in Christ, rejoice;
 
Your sins are all forgiven;
 
Let every Christian lift his voice,
 
And sing the joys of heaven.
2
Heaven is that holy, happy place,
 
Where sin no more defiles;
 
Where God unveils his blissful face,
 
And looks, and loves, and smiles;
3
[Where Jesus, Son of man and God,
 
Triumphant from his wars,
 
Walks in rich garments, dipped in blood,
 
And shows his glorious scars;]
4
[Where ransomed sinners sound God’s praise
 
The angelic host among;
 
Sing the rich wonders of his grace,
 
And Jesus leads the song;]
5
[Where saints are free from every load
 
Of passions, or of pains;
 
God dwells in them, and they in God;
 
And love for ever reigns.]
6
Lord, as thou show’st thy glory there,
 
Make known thy grace to us;
 
And heaven will not be wanting here
 
While we can hymn thee thus:
7
Jesus, our dear Redeemer, died
 
That we might be forgiven;
 
Rose that we might be justified,
 
And sends the Spirit from heaven.
