Lo! what a glorious sight appears

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #601 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a glorious sight appears To our admiring eyes! The former seas have passes away, The former earth and skies. 2 The God of glory down to men Removes his blest abode; He dwells with men; his people they, And he his people's God. 3 His gracious hand shall wipe the tear From ev'ry weeping eye; And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears, And death itself, shall die. 4 How long, dear Saviour, O how long Shall this bright hour delay? Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time, And bring the welcome day! 5 O may we stand before the Lamb, When earth and seas are fled, And hear the Judge pronounce our name With blessings on our head! Amen.

Lo, what a glorious sight appears

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #982 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a glorious sight appears To our believing eyes! The earth and seas are passed away, And the old rolling skies. 2 From the third heaven, where God resides, That holy, happy place, The New Jerusalem comes down, Adorned with shining grace. 3 Attending angels shout for joy, And the bright armies sing; Ye saints, behold the sacred seat Of your descending King! 4 The God of glory down to men Removes his blest abode; Men are the objects of his love, And he their gracious God. 5 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. 6 How bright the vision! O, how long Shall this glad hour delay? Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time, And bring the welcome day! Topics: Reward of Saints Tune Title: ST. PETER

Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1162 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a glorious sight appears To our believing eyes! The earth and seas are passed away, And the old rolling skies. And the old rolling skies, And the old rolling skies; The earth and seas are passed away, And the old rolling skies. Chorus: O that will be joyful, joyful, joyful! O that will be joyful When we meet to part no more! When we meet to part no more, On Canaan's happy shore; 'Tis there we'll meet, at Jesus's feet, When we meet to part no more.
