There we shall see his face; his power we shall adore and sing the wonders of his grace forevermore. 3 The goodly land I see, with peace and plenty blest, a land of sacred liberty and endless rest. There milk and honey flow, and oil and wine abound; the tree of life forever grows with mercy crowned. 4 There rules the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness, victorious over death and sin, the Prince of Peace. On Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains, and glorious with his saints in light forever reigns. 5 Triumphant hosts on high give thanks to God and sing, and “Holy, holy, holy” cry, “Almighty King!” Hail, Abraham's God and ours!
