| Text: | Angel voices sweetly singing |

| Tune: | HEAVEN AT LAST |
| Composer: | W. J. Kirkpatrick |
1 Angel voices sweetly singing,
Echoes thro' the blue dome ringing,
News of wondrous gladness bringing;
Ah, 'tis heav'n at last!
Refrain:
Heav'n at last, heav'n at last;
O, the joyful story of heav'n at last!
Heav'n at last, heav'n at last;
Endless, boundless glory,
In heav'n at last.
2 On the jasper threshold standing,
Like a pilgrim safely landing,
See the strange bright scene expanding;
Ah, 'tis heav'n at last! [Chorus]
3 Softest voices, silver pealing,
Freshest fragrance, spirit healing,
Happy hymns around us stealing;
Ah, 'tis heav'n at last! [Chorus]
4 Not a teardrop ever falleth,
Not a pleasure ever palleth,
Song to song forever calleth;
Ah, 'tis heav'n at last! [Chorus]
5 Christ, himself, the living splendor,
Christ the sunlight, mild and tender;
Praises to the Lamb we render;
Ah, 'tis heav'n at last! [Chorus]
