Gone To Glory - In Memory of J.W.

Tune: Christchurch

(\'Now is eternal life\')

*******

Glad soul, leave vale of tears (this world)

The Lord to you appears

Enter your glory-home

To where you now have come

Bright splendours of eternal day

Where all of night has passed away

 

When here, you played your part

The Spirit in your heart

Faithful, gentle, and pure

Your Lord you did adore

Your Lord and King and Saviour, he

None other than Christ Jesus be

 

Though us here left behind

Christ\'s comfort we may find

Our sorrow it not be

As the world\'s sorrow, see

For one day, e\'en soon, all shall meet

Around the King of glory\'s feet

 

O hope of all mankind

None else we can e\'er find

Who does bring salvation

To all of each nation

Help us Lord by faith, to you turn

And your will and ways to discern
