Author: Ballou Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #979 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When God descends with men to dwell,
And all creation wakes anew,
What tongue can half the wonders tell?
What eye the dazzling glory view?
2 Zion, the desolate, again
Shall see her lands with roses bloom,
And Carmel's mount and Sharon's plain
Shall yield their spices and perfume;
3 Celestial streams shall gently flow,
The wilderness shall joyful be,
Lilies on parched grounds shall grow,
And gladness spring on every tree;
4 The weak be strong, the fearful bond,
The deaf shall hear, the dumb shall sing,
The lame shall walk, the blind behold,
And joy through all the earth shall ring;
5 The high and low shall meet in love,
All pride shall die, and meekness reign,
When Christ descends from worlds above
To dwell with men on earth again. Topics: Reward of Saints Tune Title: ANDRE
