69. We Shall Walk the Realms of Glory

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

Refrain:
We shall walk the realms of glory,
With the loved ones gone before,
We shall sing the sweet, old story,
Over on the other shore.

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

3 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. [Refrain]

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