Newbury 143
Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: Ebeneezer Child
Meter: C.M.D. (8,6,8,6,8,6,8,6)
Lo, what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!
The earth and sea are passed away,
And the old rolling skies!
From the third heav'n where God resides
That holy, happy place;
The New Jerusalem comes down,
Adorn'd with shining grace.
His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From ev'ry weeping eye;
And pains and groans, and griefs and fears,
And death itself shall die.
How long dear Savior, O how long
Shall this bright hour delay?
Fly swifter round ye wheels of time
And bring the welcome day.
