12176. That Will Be Glory

1 When the golden gates are opened,
And I enter into rest,
And behold the blessèd Savior,
And am folded to His breast—

Refrain:
That will be glory, that will be glory,
That will be glory with my Savior king;
That will be glory, that will be glory,
That will be glory while we shout and sing.

2 When this weary way has ended,
With its conflict sharp and long,
And the peace and joy of Heaven
Fills the heart and tunes the song— [Refrain]

3 Then the promised rest and glory
In fruition will be known,
And the long imagined splendor
Into knowledge shall have grown. [Refrain]

4 O, but ’tis the One in glory
It will be so good to meet,
And to cast my crown before Him
Down at His belovèd feet. [Refrain]

5 And forever bear the likeness
Of the Lord who died for me,
And forever join the chorus
Of the ransomed and the free. [Refrain]
