Alleluia! 7 But lo; there breaks a yet more glorious day, The saints triumphant rise in bright array; The King of glory passes on His way; Alleluia! 8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia!
