Shall all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day? 3 Shall all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union, In a blest land of love? Shall war be learned no longer, Shall strife and tumult cease, All earth his blessed kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace? 4 O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray!

'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour, who beyond our mortal sight now for us a place prepareth free from grief and full of light. 3 Who is this - behold him raining drops of blood upon the ground? Who is this - despised, rejected, mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces on his Church now poureth down; all his faithful ones empowering to partake in cross and crown. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying, while the thieves on either side? Nails his hands and feet are tearing, and the spear hath pierced his side. 'Tis the God who ever liveth 'mid the shining ones on high, in the glorious golden city, reigning everlastingly.
