Before and behind the vail.
Happy the souls to Jesus joined,
And made in spirit one:
Walking in all his ways, they find
Their heaven on earth begun.
2 The church triumphant in thy love,
Their mighty joys we know;
They sing the Lamb in hymns above,
And we in hymns below.
3 Thee in thy glorious realm they praise,
And bow before thy throne;
We in the kingdom of thy grace;
The kingdoms are but one.
4 The holy to the holiest leads;
To heaven our spirits rise;
And he that in thy statutes treads,
Shall meet thee in the skies.
C. Wesley.
