Christ My Song - 436
At last! - At Last!
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
At Last!
1. At last! At last!
The night is at an end,
the dawn comes softly up,
clear as its own clear dew;
and weeping has gone out,
to let in only songs,
and everlasting joy.
At last! Amen! PDF - Midi
2. At last! At last!
The Prince of life has come,
the Church is glorified,
the sleepers have awoke,
the living have been changed;
death has at last been slain,
and the grave spoiled for ever.
At last! Amen!
3. At last! At last!
The curse is swept away,
the serpent-trail effaced;
the desert smiles with green,
and blossoms like the rose;
'tis more than Eden now,
earth has become as heaven.
At last! Amen!
4. At last! At last!
Satan is bound in chains;
the Church's ancient foe,
old enemy of Christ,
has fallen, with all his hosts;
and Babylon the Great
has sunk to rise no more.
At last! Amen!
5. At last! At last!
Israel sits down in peace,
Jerusalem awakes;
her King at length has come,
Messiah reigns in power;
the heavens rejoice and sing,
and earth once more is free.
At last! Amen!
