Hymn 225 — O scenes of heavenly joy!
| 225 | T. PORTER | S.M. |
| 1 |
O scenes of heavenly joy! The Father's house above; Where cloudless peace without alloy Fills all that home of love. | |
| 2 |
The Father's full delight Is centred in the Son; And countless tongues in heav'n unite To tell what He hath done. | |
| 3 |
The Father made us meet With saints in light to dwell; And now we chant His praises sweet, Whose love we know so well. | |
| 4 |
E'en now we taste the love, And know the mighty power, By which we'll rise to realms above When waiting time is o'er. | |
| 5 |
There glory bright and fair Shines with celestial beam; For He who suffered once is there, Its centre and its theme. | |
| 6 |
The Lamb enthroned shall there Engage each raptured heart; While myriad saints Christ's likeness bear, And have with Him their part. | |
| 7 |
Praise Him again, again! For us the cross He bore; Now all is Yea, and all Amen, In Him for evermore. | |
