From Egypt lately come,
 
Where death and darkness reign,
 
We seek our new, our better home,
 
Where we our rest shall gain:
 
Hallelujah!
 
We are on our way to God.
“Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.” (Romans 5:14)
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” (Colossians 1:13)
“There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” (Hebrews 4:9)
2
There sin and sorrow cease,
 
And, every conflict o’er,
 
There we shall dwell in endless peace,
 
And never hunger more.
 
Hallelujah!
 
We are on our way to God.
3
How sweet the prospect is!
 
It cheers the pilgrim’s breast;
 
We’re journeying through the wilderness,
 
But soon shall gain our rest;
 
Hallelujah!
 
We are on our way to God.
