Eternal Weight of Glory

Now the days and hours and moments Of our suff'ring seem so long And the toilsome wait and wond'ring Threaten silence to our song Now our pain is real and pressing Where our faith is thin and weak But our hope is set on Jesus And we cling to him, our strength Oh eternal weight of glory! Oh inheritance divine! We will see our Lord redeeming Every past and future time All our pains will be transfigured Like the scars of Christ our Lord We will see the weight of glory And our broken years restored For behold! I tell a myst'ry At the trumpet sound we'll wake Death is swallowed up in vict'ry! When we meet our King of Grace Every year we thought was wasted Every night we cried "How long?" All will be a passing moment In our Savior's vict'ry song We will see our wounded Savior We'll behold him face to face And we'll hear our anguished stories Sung as vict'ry songs of grace For behold! I tell a myst'ry At the trumpet sound we'll wake Death is swallowed up in vict'ry! When we meet our King of Grace Every year we thought was wasted Every night we cried "How long?" All will be a passing moment In our Savior's vict'ry song Every year we thought was wasted Every night we cried "How long?" All will be a passing moment In our Savior's vict'ry song
