Lyrics

Glory, glo­ry, all is glo­ry,
O the con­stant joy I see;
Not a sha­dow, care or sor­row
Hides my bless­èd Lord from me.

Refrain

Glory, glo­ry, all is glo­ry,
Jesus dwell­eth in my soul;
From the full­ness of His mer­cy,
Floods of rap­ture o’er me roll.

O the rest­ing and com­mun­ing
From the busy world apart;
While the Spir­it gently whispers
Words of promise to my heart.

Refrain

Glory, glo­ry, what a Sav­ior,
How His tender words of love
Draw me upward to the pleasures
In the Golden Land above.

Refrain

Hallelujah, I shall see Him
And behold Him face to face;
There for­ev­er will I praise Him,
For the riches of His grace.
