Lo! what a glorious sight appears

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R67a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a glorious sight appears to our admiring eyes! The former seas have pass'd away, the former earth and skies. 2 From heav’n the New Jerus’lem comes, all worthy of its Lord; See all things now at last renew'd, and paradise restor'd! 3 Attending angels shout for joy, and the bright armies sing; Mortals! behold the sacred seat of your descending King! 4 The God of glory down to men removes his bless’d abode; he dwells with men, his people they, and he his people’s God. 5 His gracious hand shall wipe the tears from ev’ry weeping eye: and pains and groans, and griefs and fears, and death itself, shall die. 6 Behold, I change all human things! saith he, whose words are true; lo! what was old is pass'd away, and all things are made new! 7 I am the First, and I the Last, through endless years the same; I AM, is my memorial still, and my eternal name. Scripture: Revelation 21:1-9 Languages: English Tune Title: HARINGTON (RETIREMENT)

Attending angels shout for joy, And the bright armies sing- "Mortals, behold the sacred seat Of your descending King. "The God of glory down to men Removes his blest abode; Men, the dear objects of his grace, And he the loving God. "His own soft hand shall wipe the tears From every weeping eye, And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears, And death itself, shall die." How long, dear Savior!
