From the tow’rÂing hills that rise
Far beÂyond the glowÂing skies,
Hark! the evÂerÂlastÂing song
Like an ocean rolls along.
Refrain
Day and night they shout and sing,
Praise the Lord, our mighÂty king!
Tell His wonÂdrous love with loud acÂclaim,
Hallelujah! praise His name!
There the saints of evÂery time,
Every naÂtion, tongue and clime,
Gather round their lovÂing Lord,
More than conÂquerors thro’ His word.
Refrain
They who on the field of life
Overcame thro’ toil and strife,
By the tranÂquil stream that flows,
Rest in peace and calm reÂpose.
Refrain
Thro’ the furÂnace they who passed,
Tried as gold and pure at last,
Anchored now withÂin the veil,
Sing of faith that canÂnot fail.
Refrain
When our march of life is o’er,
When we wake to sleep no more,
May we join that blissÂful throng,
There to learn their hoÂly song.
