Point Of Grace - Arrival At the City lyrics

While they were thus drawing towards the gate Behold! A company of the heavenly host came out to meet them There came out also at this time several of the Kings trumpeters Clothed in white and shining rainment Who with melodious noises and loud Made even the heavens to echo with their sound These trumpeters saluted the pilgrams with ten thousand welcomes From the world With shouting and sound of trumpet Signifying how welcome they were into their company And with what gladness they came to meet them Now when they came to the gate The pilgrams each handed in their certificate which they had received In the beginning These therefore were carried into the King Who when He had read them said "Where are the people?" To Whom it was answered "They are standing outside the gate." The King then commanded to open the gate Now I saw in my dream That these pilgrams went in at the gate And as they entered they were tranfigured And they had rainment put on that shown like gold Then I heard in my dream, that all the bells in the city rang again For joy And it was said within "Enter ye into the joy of our Lord!"
