Views of Heavenly Glory

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: No pen can write that sweet delight Lyrics: 1 No pen can write that sweet delight, Nor human tongue express; There's none believes, nor can conceive That joy and happiness: 2 That great degree now shewn to me, Of future joy and peace; When they're reveal'd and not conceal'd My life doth almost cease. 3 Eternal songs of praise belong To Christ my Savior dear; And I must sing to Christ my king, And honor him with fear. 4 When I sit down to view that crown, Laid up for me above, To meditate and contemplate On God's eternal love. 5 My soul doth leap to think how deep My Savior's love hath been; I'm carry'd out in thoughts devout, On things that are unseen. 6 This real view appears so true, That Jesus is the man, That did agree with God for me, Before the world began. 7 Lord when shall we like angels be, And travel through the air; And all thy host travel this coast And meet together there?
