Sunshine No. 2 ‎#31

31. Heaven at Last

1 Angel voices sweetly singing,
Echoes thro’ the blue dome ringing,
News of wondrous gladness bringing;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last!

Refrain:
Heav’n at last, heav’n at last,
O the joyful story of heav’n at last!
Heav’n at last, heav’n at last,
Endless, boundless glory in heav’n at last!

2 On the jasper threshold standing,
Like a pilgrim safely landing,
See the strange bright scene expanding;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last! [Refrain]

3 Softest voices, silver pealing,
Freshest fragrance, spirit healing,
Happy hymns around us stealing;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last! [Refrain]

4 Now at length the vail is rended,
Now the pilgrimage is ended,
And the saints their thrones ascended;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last! [Refrain]

5 Christ Himself the living splendor,
Christ the sunlight mild and tender;
Praises to the Lamb we render;
Ah, ’tis heav’n, ‘tis heav’n at last! [Refrain]
