Classic Poem

Then we shall see and know
What can't be known below,
For glory centers in his name;
No night's approach they fear,
They need no candle there,
The light of heav'n is God the Lamb.

He shines with beams of love
On all the saints above,
And all the saints with glory shine;
From him the angels bright,
Those happy sons of light,
Are fill'd with life and love divine.

No temple built with hands
In that bright region stands,
God is their palace, and their home:
With perfect pleasure blest,
In him the soul finds rest
For all eternity to come.

Sing, ransom'd sinners, sing,
Extol your God and King,
While on your way to heav'n ye go;
You'll never cease in heav'n
To sing of sins forgiv'n,
And what should check your song below?

Though dangers by the way
May fill us with dismay,
Our Saviour God remains the same;
Salvation full and free,
We still in him shall see,
Oft as by faith we read his name.
