Hymnal: Kind Words #21 (1871) Lyrics: 1 We sing of the realms of the blest,
That country so bright and so fair;
And oft are its glories confess'd--
But what must it be to be there?
But what must it be to be there?
2 We speak of its freedom from sin,
From sorrow, temptation, and care,
From trials without and within;
But what must it be to be there?
But what must it be to be there?
3 We speak of its service of love,
The robes which the glorified wear,
The Church of the first-born above,
But what must it be to be there?
But what must it be to be there?
4 Do thou, Lord, 'midst pleasure and woe,
For heaven our spirits prepare;
Then, soon shall we joyfully know,
And feel what it is to be there.
5 Then anthems of praise we will sing,
When safe in that Heavenly rest,
To Jesus, our Saviour and King.
Who reigns in the Realms of the Blest. Languages: English Tune Title: REALMS OF THE BLEST
