Verse 1 The great book is closed, justice is now in sight, The earth is made whole, and conquered is the night. Beneath the Christ's steps and the Most High's embrace, Mankind walks forward into a brand new place. Chorus Hear high up above the angelic choirs singing, Their voices of gold through the holy realms ringing! Seeing man so joyful, so valiant, so strong, They shout their pure gladness and echo the song. Verse 2 The thousand sweet years have sealed the victory, The Son yields to Jehovah the glory to be. No longer a glance hides a secret despair, Abundant delight fills the soft, peaceful air. Chorus Hear high up above the angelic choirs singing, Their voices of gold through the holy realms ringing! Seeing man so joyful, so valiant, so strong, They shout their pure gladness and echo the song. Verse 3 From azure-bound gates, the armies of light Gaze down at the cottage where hearths burn so bright, Where the lamb, the young child, and the grandfather too, Praise the King who has saved them and made all things new. Verse 4 The laughter below rises up in star-sheaves, The universe quivers, and heaven's veil cleaves. It is a vast cry, shared by one and by all, The absolute triumph of love answering the call. Chorus Hear high up above the angelic choirs singing, Their voices of gold through the holy realms ringing! Seeing man so joyful, so valiant, so strong, They shout their pure gladness and echo the song. Outro Pure exultation, wave upon wave of praise, An eternal symphony for all our days! Jehovah is smiling, the purpose is done,... For ages and ages, true life has begun....
