	2 What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! 0 day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more!	Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; I Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power, and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heaven Thy promised sign;y Thou Prince and Saviour, come.
