               A royal chosen priesthood, our God will make His flock,
                  Conforming to His promise He made to all of us.
                                  3
              The angels of the heavens come with the Sovereign Lord,
                   All singing Hallelujahs to our redeeming Lord.
                                  4
                The golden streets and walkways, a sea of crystal too,
                  Each door's a crafted jewel; a life of endless bliss.
                                  5
                 Upon its streets all golden, my Savior Jesus Christ,
                  His face lights up the city; a splendor so divine.
                                  6
              And after we reign with Jesus more than a thousand years
                 We'll dwell upon His mansions in everlasting light.

                   In the early hours of sweet happy mornings,
                The fragrance of flowers perfumes your great throne;
                 The pleas and the prayers of people who love you,
                  And sweet hymns of glory proclaiming your love.
                                CHORUS
                      All we Christians shall render praises,
                          To You our greatest King;
                  To You we give all the glory for your great love,
                          To You Mighty King of all,
                           To You our loving God.
                                  2
                   In the early hours of sweet happy mornings,
                   The happiest souls give you praises, oh, Lord;
               Like rich zestful fragrance and sweet smelling perfume,
                  We offer our prayers and the sweetest hymns.
                                  3
                   I laid down to rest, fell asleep, and awakened,
               Because God's dear hands have sustained me all night;
                 That's why this great day I do sing and give praises,
                                  THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HYMNAL,  75
