3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously,
Released from earthly ties,

The fiery car shall bear her up to thee,
Through all these lower skies,
To yonder shining regions,

Where down, to meet her, come
The blessed angel-legions,

And bid her welcome home.

4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold
The gates of grace to me!

How many a time I longed for thee of old,
Ere yet I was set free

From yon dark life of sadness,

Yon world of shadowy nought,

And God had given the gladness,

The heritage I sought.

50 what the tribe, or what the glorious host, Comes sweeping swiftly down?

The chosen ones of earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown,

Our Lord hath sent to meet me,

As in the far off years

Their words oft came to greet me,

In yonder land of tears.

6 The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train, With all Christ's followers true,

Who bore the cross and could the worst disdain

That tyrants dared to do,

I see them shine forever,
All glorious as the sun,
'Mid light that fadeth never,
Their perfect freedom won.

7 And when within that lovely Paradise
At last I safely dwell,

From out my soul what songs of bliss shall rise,
What joy my lips shall tell,
While holy saints are singing
Hosannas o'er and o'er,
Pure hallelujah's ringing,
Around me evermore.

8 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne With harp and trumpet raise

Glad notes, till heav'ns vast halls vibrate the tone
Of their melodious praise,

And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessed throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song!
