Sunday's Hymn: Reader's Choice

It’s Even So’s turn to pick our Sunday hymn. He gave a list of his favorites that included

  • Great Is Thy Faithfulness
  • (Even So, my namesake) It Is Well With My Soul
  • Amazing Grace
  • When We All Get To Heaven
The first two have already been featured as reader’s choice hymns, so I’m choosing one of the other two. I featured Amazing Grace not too long ago during my John Newton/William Wilberforce/William Cowper phase, so I’m going with the last one on the list.

When We All Get to Heaven

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace.
In the mansions bright and blessèd
He’ll prepare for us a place.

Refrain

When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!

While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when traveling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.

Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open;
We shall tread the streets of gold. 

—-Eliza E. Hewitt (Listen.)
