For whose calm I long have prayed;
Trees of life—celestial arbor—
I repose beneath their shade.
Refrain:
Hark! I hear the angels singing,
Morning breaks, your night is past,
And the crystal bells are ringing
Welcome to your home at last.
2 Heav’n at last—the Savior liveth,
See Him on His blissful seat;
Crowns of life to each He giveth,
Crowns they cast before His feet. [Refrain]
3 Heav’n at last—my loved ones gather,
Tell me of their joys on high;
Tell me how the blessèd Father
Wipes the tear from sorrow’s eye. [Refrain]
4 Heav’n at last—and now like Jesus,
Every raptured saint I see;
Now we see Him as He sees us,
Evermore with Him to be. [Refrain] Used With Tune: CASTILLO Text Sources: Songs of Praise Number Two by J. Wilbur Chapman and Owen F. Pugh (Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1905)
