Lyrics

O lift thy hands on high!
O, pilgrim, tune thy voice;
And sing, for Christ is nigh,
Tell all the earth thy joys;
Rejoice in God, arise and shine,
While rays divine stream all around.

He gilds thy radiant face
With beams that cannot fade;
His all-resplendent grace
He pours around thy head;
All mortals here thy bliss shall view,
With luster new, divinely crowned.

In honor to His name,
Reflect that sacred light;
And loud that grace proclaim,
Which makes thy dardness bright;
Pursue His praise, till sov'reign love,
In worlds above, the glory raise.

There on His holy hill,
A brighter sun shall rise,
And, with His radiance fill
Those fairer, purer skies;
While, 'round His throne, ten thousand times
Ten thousand saints His influence own.

Amen.
