Call us in glad and loving tones,

And bid us welcome to their bands.

Hark! how their harps and voices tell

The glories of that radiant strand,

And bid us breast the waves that swell

Between us and the shining land.

Ear hath not heard, eye hath not seen,

The glories of that home of song;

Though stormy billows roll between,

I go to join the angel throng.
