Methodist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#553b

553b. Our souls are in His mighty hand

1 Our souls are in His mighty hand,
And He shall keep them still;
And you and I shall surely stand
With Him on Zion's hill.

2 Him eye to eye we there shall see;
Our face like His shall shine:
Oh! what a glorious company,
When saints and angels join!

3 Oh! what a joyful meeting there!
In robes of white arrayed,
Palms in our hands we all shall bear,
And crowns upon our head.

4 Then let us lawfully contend,
And fight our passage through;
Bear in our faithful minds the end,
And keep the prize in view.

5 Then let us hasten to the day
When all shall be brought home;
Come, O Redeemer, come away!
O Jesus, quickly come!
