XL. Christians rejoicing in Hope and Glory of God

1 Lo! we are journeying home to God,
Bid by the Spirit come;
And in the Way his Children trod,
We seek our Father's Home.

2 We walk a narrow Path and rough,
And we are tired and weak;
And we shall soon have Rest enough,
In those bless'd Courts we seek.

3 Nigh to the Country we appear,
Stor'd with eternal Bliss;
We know we quickly shall be there,
In Sight our City is.

4 Upon Mount Zion's distant Top,
A Lamb our Eyes behold;
'Tis Jesus, look ye Children up,
He calls us to his Fold.

5 We see him with his Raiment red,
As tho' besmear'd with Blood,
As newly slain he stands; he bled,
Us to redeem to God.

6 About him clad with snowy Vests,
Appears a countless Throng;
These are his Saints, his Kings, his Priests,
Who sing th' eternal Song.

7 How blest, how more than happy these,
Who thus their Lord attend;
We, Brethren, in their Hosts shall praise,
We soon shall there ascend.
