Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the use of Christians ‎#228

228. Heaven

1 Ye souls that trust in Christ, rejoice,
Your sins are all forgiv'n;
Let every Christian raise his voice,
And sing the joys of heav'n.

2 Heav'n is that holy happy place,
Where sin no more defiles;
Where God unveils his lovely face,
And looks, and loves, and smiles.

3 Where Jesus, Son of Man and God,
Triumphant from his wars,
Walks in rich garments dipt in blood,
And shews his glorious scars.

4 Where ransom'd sinners sound God's praise,
Th' angelic hosts among,
Sing the rich wonders of his grace,
And Jesus leads the song.

5 Where saints are free from ev'ry load
Of passions or of pains,
God dwells in them, and they in God,
And love for ever reigns.

6 Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard,
Nor can the heart conceive,
All that the blood of Christ procur'd,
Or all that God can give.

7 Lord as thou shew'st thy glory there;
Make known thy grace to us,
And heav'n will not be wanting here,
While we can hymn thee thus.
