We shall walk the realms of glory

September 28

We shall walk the realms of glory,
Where eternal beauty reigns,
There, with seraph hosts unnumbered,
Join the grand, immortal strains.

We shall walk the realms of glory
With the blood-washed, mighty throng;
We shall join the angel harpers
In their everlasting song.

We shall walk the realms of glory
And by Jesus’ side sit down;
Clad no more in robes of sorrow,
We shall wear a fadeless crown.

We shall walk the realms of glory,
Where no tears can ever come,
Where the sunlight is not needed,
In that sweet, eternal home.

Chorus
We shall walk the realms of glory
With the loved ones gone before;
We shall sing the sweet old story
Over on the other side.
