Full Lyrics
BASS SOLO
And when it dawns, the glorious morn,
Of Heav'n and Earth the second birth,
Then we shall rise again,
From pain and death for ever free.
TENOR SOLO
The gates of Heav'n are opened wide,
The holy hill appears.
The temple of the Lord,
Where peace eternal dwells.
SOPRANO SOLO
The man who does the will of God.
CORO I
But who shall dare to enter in?
CORO II
And who shall mount the holy hill?
CORO I
Pure in heart shall see their God.
And who may in that temple dwell?
CORO II
The merciful shall mercy find.
Who maketh peace shall peace enjoy.
And who shall gain eternal peace?
CORO I
And lo! it dawns, the glorious morn.
CORO II
Behold! its heavenly light.
CORO I & II
The gates of Heaven are opened wide,
The holy hill appears.
For ever gone, for ever past,
The days of pain and sorrow,
The wintry storms of life.
There Spring eternal reigns.
Unending bliss and happiness.
SOLI
God's mercy grant us like reward the righteous man.
CORO I & II
Let us strive then, battle, struggle,
For to him that overcometh,
God will give a crown of life?
Be Thou our help and guide, O God!
Our courage and our strength.
Victorious then, may we appear
Before thy Throne, thy glorious Throne.
Amen.
