Hymnal: JW1878 #178 (1879) First Line: Burst, ye emerald gates, and bring Lyrics: 1 Burst, ye emerald gates, and bring
To my raptured vision,
All the ecstatic joys that spring
Round the bright elysian.
Lo, we lift our longing eyes!
Break, ye intervening skies!
Sons of righteousness, arise,
OPe the gates of paradise!
2 Hark! the thrilling symphonies
Seem, methinks, to seize us;
Join we, too, the holy lays--
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!
Sweetest sound in seraph's song,
Sweetest note on mortal tongue,
Sweetest carol ever sung--
Jesus, Jesus, flow along. Languages: English Tune Title: MERDIN
Heavenly Glories
