In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light:
'Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin;
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.

Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousandfold repaid!
3 O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore!
What knitting severed friendships up,
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
That brimmed with tears of late,
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power and reign;
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heavens Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Savior, come.

There is a kingdom of the Lord
Author: D. G. Ristad; H. C. Sthen Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #361 (1918) Topics: Life Eternal Lyrics: 1 There is a kingdom of the Lord,
Not built on golden treasure,
But founded on God's holy Word,
My soul's delight and pleasure.
2 Here Jesus Christ the Lord of all,
The Son of God is dwelling;
He is the Bridegroom of my soul,
In holy love excelling.
3 I travel in a pilgrim band
Whose journey soon is ended,
And when I reach the Fatherland
I shall be well contented.
4 I poor and empty-handed came
Into this world of sorrow,
With empty heart depart the same
When death comes on the morrow.
5 But I shall wake on Jesus' name
And rise to joy and glory!
Nor death no grave shall hold my frame,
No ill my soul shall worry.
6 And Jesus calls me to His side:
"I am thy Lord and Savior;
Thou art redeemed and shalt abide
Forever in My favor."
7 All praise and thanks and glory be
To God forever given,
That we His grace and mercy see
Now and at last in heaven.
There is a kingdom of the Lord

The servants of the Lord
Shall meet the ransomed millions there
Who heard God's saving Word.
3 O what a mighty, rushing flood
Of love without surcease,
Shall roll about the throne of God
In joy and endless peace!

Our hearts so that we may
All join the heavenly white-robed choir
Upon that glorious day.

O how blest are ye whose toils are ended!
Author: H. W. Longfellow; S. Dach Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #365 (1918) Topics: Life Eternal Lyrics: 1 O how blest are ye whose toils are ended!
Who, through death, have unto God ascended!
Ye have arisen
From the cares which keep us still in prison.
2 Christ has wiped away their tears forever;
Ye have that for which we still endeavor;
To you are chanted
Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted.
3 Ah! who would then not depart with gladness,
To inherit heaven for earthly sadness?
Who here would languish
Longer in bewailing and in anguish?
4 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us!
Lead us forth, and cast this world behind us!
With Thee, th'Anointed,
Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed.
O how blest are ye whose toils are ended!
