Recessional Hymn

Sing with All the Saints in Glory

Verse 3
Life eternal! heav’n rejoices:
Jesus lives, who once was dead!
Join with all the heav'nly voices;
Child of God, lift up your head!
Patriarchs from distant ages,
saints all longing for their heav'n,
prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
All await the glory giv'n.Verse 4
Life eternal! O what wonders
crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
when amid earth's closing thunders,
saints shall stand before the throne!
O to enter that bright portal,
see that glowing firmament;
know, with you, O God immortal,
Jesus Christ whom you have sent!
