15001. That Blessed Country

1 There, in that golden city fair,
Stand the blest angels in robes of white,
Singing forever their songs of praise,
Resting not day or night.

Refrain:
With that great choir in glory,
Lord, may we stand and sing
Praises to Thee our Father,
And praises to Christ our king.

2 There, neither sin nor any grief
Ever shall enter their song sublime;
Heaven’s high arches shall ever ring,
After the end of time. [Refrain]

3 O, blessèd choir of angel hosts;
O, blessèd country where all is love;
There, weary souls that languish here,
Shall rest in Heaven above. [Refrain]
