Primary Scripture: Revelation 21:4

Verse 1

Angel voices sweetly singing, Echoes thro' the blue dome ringing, News of wondrous gladness bringing; Ah, 'tis heav'n at last!

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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.

Verse 3

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

Chorus

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.

Verse 4

Not a teardrop ever falleth, Not a pleasure ever palleth, Song to song forever calleth; Ah, 'tis heav'n at last!

Chorus

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.

Verse 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

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.
