70*. We Sing of the Realms of the Blest | 8s. |
| by Mrs. E. Mills, 1829 |
|
|

|
| 1 | We sing of the realms of the blest, | Hebrews 4:9 |
| That country so bright and so fair, |
| The glorious mansions of rest— |
| But what must it be to be there? |
|
| 2 | We tell of its service of love; | Revelation 7:9; Hebrews 12:23 |
| The robes which the glorified wear; |
| The church of the Firstborn above— |
| But what must it be to be there? |
|
| 3 | We tell of its freedom from sin, | Revelation 21:4 |
| From sorrow, temptation and care, |
| From trials without and within— |
| But what must it be to be there? |
|
| 4 | Do Thou, Lord, midst pleasure and woe, |
| Still for heaven our spirits prepare; |
| And shortly we also shall know |
| And feel what it is to be there. |
