Author: Grace J. Frances Hymnal: The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School #129 (1886) First Line: As the distant streams uniting Refrain First Line: Rolling onward, sweeping downward Lyrics: 1 As the distant streams uniting,
To the ocean onward move,
So our songs of joy are blending
With the songs of those above.
Refrain:
Rolling onward, sweeping downward,
At the golden gate they meet;
Songs from earth and songs in glory
Break as one, at Jesus’ feet.
2 ‘Tis the chorus of an army
Doing battle for the Lord,
‘Tis the echo of the martyrs
Who have conquered thro’ His word. [Refrain]
3 ‘Tis the chorus of the faithful
Pressing on to win the prize,
‘Tis the anthem of the millions
Gathered safe beyond the skies. [Refrain]
4 May the praise that now is offered
From his holy place of prayer,
Rise to heaven, and sweetly mingle
With the songs of angels there. [Refrain] Topics: Praise Languages: English Tune Title: [As the distant streams uniting]
