On the jasper threshold standing, Like a pilgrim safely landing, See the strange, bright scene expanding; Ah, 'tis heav'n at last!

Softest voices, silver pealing, Freshest fragrance, spirit healing, Happy hymns around us stealing; Ah, 'tis heav'n at last!

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.
