Behold, I make all things new.
Revelation 21:5
Words: George Matheson, 1890.
Music: Frederic F. Bullard, 1903 (🔊 pdf nwc).
There are coming changes great
In the glad new time;
Trust in God and watch and wait
For the glad new time;
Mountain fears shall prostrate lie,
Vales of hope be lifted high;
Trembling earth embrace the sky,
In the glad new time.
There shall meet the great and small
In the glad new time,
Love shall be the lord of all
In the glad new time;
From the mountains shall descend
Hearts of old that could not bend,
And the poor shall have a friend,
In the glad new time.
We shall lift oppression’s load
In the glad new time;
We shall bear the cross of God
In the glad new time;
We shall seek the valleys deep
Where the weary strive or sleep,
And convey them up the steep
To the glad new time.
There shall be a joy in Heav’n
In the glad new time;
And God’s resting shall be giv’n
In the glad new time:
For His Sabbath shall be found
When the skies have touched the ground,
And the valleys shall resound
With the glad new time.
