Earth Has A Joy Unknown In Heaven
The New-Born Joy Of Sins Forgiven!
Tears Of Such Pure And Deep Delight,
O Angels! Never Dimmed Your Sight.
You Saw Of Old On Chaos Rise
The Beauteous Pillars Of The Skies;
You Know Where Morn Exulting Springs,
And Evening Folds Her Drooping Wings.
Bright Heralds Of Th’ Eternal Will,
Abroad His Errands You Fulfill;
Or, Throned In Floods Of Beamy Day,
Symphonies In His Presence Play.
Loud Is The Song—The Heavenly Plain
Is Shaken With The Choral Strain;
And Dying Echoes, Floating Far,
Draw Music From Each Chiming Star.
But I Amid Your Choirs Shall Shine,
And All Your Knowledge Shall Be Mine;
You On Your Harps Must Lean To Hear
A Secret Chord That Mine Shall Bear.
