Sweet Sounds of Glory

Verse 1

Sweet sounds of glory greet mine ears: Bright visions pass before mine eyes; Freed, freed by faith from earthly cares, My sprit heav'nward seems to rise.

Chorus

O hallelujah! what a joy! Upon the wing of love to soar! Till nothing may our souls annoy, Or drag them downward evermore! Nevermore!

Verse 2

'Tis heav'n on earth in love to dwell, For such a soul abides in God; No fear of man, no dread of hell, With joy he walks life's peaceful road.

Verse 3

O hallelujah! praise the Lord! Come, brethren, join me in His praise: Happy the soul who loves His word, And happy he who keeps His ways.
