New scenes the eternal era to begin,
Of peace for war, of righteousness for sin.
Speed then away, O tardy years!
Fly quickly, hours that intervene!
Groaning we wait the time when tears
Shall be but things that once have been.
Dawn, thou blest morn, so long in promise given,
The glorious glad New Year of God and Heaven.
Almost to the Beautiful Land.
Almost to the beautiful land!
