Oliver Holden - New-Union - текст песни (слова)

6 I wonder why old saints don't sing,
 And praise the Lord upon the wing,
 And make the heavenly arches ring,
 With loud hosannas to their King,
 Who brought their souls to union.
 
 7 O come, backsliders, come away,
 And learn to do as well as say;
 And mind to watch as well as pray:
 Come, bear your cross from day to day,
 And then you'll feel this union.
 
 8 Soon we shall break all nature's ties,
 On wings of love our souls shall rise,
 And shout salvation through the skies,
 And gain the mark and win the prize,
 And feel a heavenly union.
 
 9 Then every saint that's here below,
 Will leave these climes of pain and woe;
 And they will home to glory go;
 And there they'll hear and see and know
 And feel this perfect union.
 
 10 There we the glorious Lamb shall see,
 Who groaned and died upon the tree,
 For sinners such as you and me,
 That we might his salvation see,
 And feel a heavenly union.
