1 Shall we behold the promised land,
Its streams and long down-trodden dust
Delivered from the alien hand,
And given to the just?
2 Shall we be there with saints of old
Assembled round the judgement throne,
When makng up the gems and gold
The Lord selects His own?
3 Shall we with pure and strengthened voice
Join in that saintly choir to sing,
And with immortal power rejoice
To praise the chosen King?
4 We know the end,we know the way,
And some with life he will endow.
Shall we be with him in that day?
We make the answer now.
