Psalm 93The Lord sits upright on His throne,
draped in a mountain, rising through
the clouds, forever changeless, new,
eternally impervious to
all storms or time, a growing stone
of splendor and unmeasured girth:
As there, Lord, let it be on earth!
Psalm 45:6-8
What sweetness bathes our every sense!
What radiating gladness swells
around us! What delightful smells
engulf, what happy music tells
Your glory! Joys beyond expense
from You and from Your throne pour forth:
As there, Lord, let it be on earth!
Psalm 47
They gather in Elysian Fields,
a vast and varied, joyful host,
with one objective uttermost—
their King to celebrate and toast!
There, casting down their crowns and shields,
they tell His holy, matchless worth:
As there, Lord, let it be on earth!
Revelation 4, 5
Throughout the vast, far-flung expanse
a chorus rises, joyous, strong:
Unnumbered hosts, an endless throng,
their voices joined in glorious song,
extol their King’s eminence,
rejoicing in His matchless worth:
As there, Lord, let it be on earth!
Hebrews 12:1
Now let us focus on one saint,
one from that boisterous crowd of those
who prays together, dressed in clothes
of linen white. See how he glows
in mien and body! No restraint
impedes his holy, joyful mirth:
As there, Lord, let it be on earth!
Hebrews 1:7
Christ speaks, and angels all obey,
and hurry off to implement
His Word. They are as servants sent,
a holy, unseen regiment,
to guard and guide us on our way.
Of faithfulness they know no dearth:
As there, Lord, let it be on earth!
Psalm 97:1-6
Fire flows to mark His path, and burns
away His foes by righteousness
and justice, oozing forth to bless
the world and overpave the mess
we men have made of things. He turns
this way and that in all His worth:
Hark! the song of jubilee,
