- 1Happy the souls to Jesus joined,
- And saved by grace alone;
- Walking in all His ways, they find
- Their heaven on earth begun.
- 2The Church triumphant in Thy love,
- Their mighty joys we know;
- They sing the Lamb in hymns above,
- And we in hymns below.
- 3Thee in Thy glorious realm they praise,
- And bow before Thy throne;
- We in the kingdom of Thy grace:
- The kingdoms are but one.
- 4The holy to the holiest leads,
- From thence our spirits rise;
- And he that in Thy statutes treads,
- Shall meet Thee in the skies.
