Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. How will the Saints rejoice to tell And count their sufferings o’er, When they upon Mount Zion dwell And view the landscape o’er.
2. There they will see, upon that land, Fair Zion from above, And meet with Enoch’s holy band, And sing redeeming love.
3. There no more sickness, pain or woe Shall mar their peaceful rest, For God shall wipe away their tears, And comfort the oppressed.
4. O may I see that glorious day And join with all the blest, To sing aloud the Savior’s praise, And enter into rest.
