446. Lo, What a Glorious Sight Appears

Db7 Gb                               Db7           Gb
Lo, what a glorious sight appears To our believing eyes!

Db7 Gb                                  Db7             Gb
The earth and seas are passed away, And the old rolling skies.

    Db7                        Gb           Ab7 Db
And the old rolling skies, And the old roll-ing skies;

Db7 Gb                                  Abm     Db7     Gb
The earth and seas are passed away, And the old rolling skies.

Gb                     Db7     Gb
O that will be joyful, joyful, joyful!

Gb                            Db7             Gb
O that will be joyful When we meet to part no more!

        Db                      Gb           Ab7 Db
When we meet to part no more on Canaan’s hap-py shore;

Db7  Gb                                       Abm     Db7     Gb
’Tis there we’ll meet at Jesus’ feet, When we meet to part no more!


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Lo, what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!
The earth and seas are passed away
And the old rolling skies.
And the old rolling skies,
And the old rolling skies;
The earth and seas are passed away,
And the old rolling skies.

[Refrain]
O that will be joyful, joyful, joyful!
O that will be joyful
When we meet to part no more!
When we meet to part no more
On Canaan’s happy shore;
‘Tis there we’ll meet at Jesus’ feet,
When we meet to part no more!

[Verse 2]
Attending angels shout for joy
And the bright armies sing-
Mortals! Behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King.
Of your descending King,
Of your descending King;
Mortals! Behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King.

[Verse 3]
His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye;
And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,
And death itself shall die!
And death itself shall die,
And death itself shall die;
And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,
And death itself shall die.

[Verse 4]
How long, dear Savior! Oh, how long
Shall this bright hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time!
And bring the welcome day.
And bring the welcome day,
And bring the welcome day;
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time!
And bring the welcome day.
