1		See the happy spirits waiting On the banks beyond the stream; Sweet responses still repeating Jesus, Jesus is their theme. See they whisper; Hark! they call me, Sister spirit, come away; Lo, I come, earth can't contain me; Hail, ye realms of endless day! (Chorus)		Great Redeemer, friend of sinners,, Stanza 3 Brethren, see my Jesus coming,, Stanza 3
Chorus		Hail the blessed Lamb, Glory to His name.
