Time's clock is striking the hour, Jesus will soon descend, Clothed in the garments of power, The reign of sin to end. Then will this anthem be ringing Like to a mighty flood, Then 'round the throne we'll be singing, Glory and praise to God. Refrain Glory, glory to God! Thus will the ransomed sing; Glory, glory to God, The everlasting King! Praise Him, alleluia! To that eternal sphere We are waiting For our translating; The time is near. In those bright mansions supernal, Death cannot enter there; Ages on ages eternal His likeness we shall bear. There will the once brokenhearted Rest in the spirit know; Sorrow forever departed, Gladness shall overflow. Refrain Sighing forever is ended, Foes shall oppress no more; Voices in worship are blended To Him Whom all adore. Bathed in the light soft and tender, Sealed for eternity, Praise to the Lamb we will render - Worthy of praise is He. Refrain Beautiful, wonderful story! Jesus Himself the Light; There in the kingdom of glory Never shall fall the night. Now I am singing of heaven, While here I wage the strife; Then will the victors be given Crowns of eternal life. Refrain.
