Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard

Hymn 98

  • No. 98

  • 4 stanzas
  • Words only in the original
1

Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard,
Nor sense nor reason known,
What joys the Father has prepared
For those that love his Son.

2

But the good Spirit of the Lord
Reveals a heaven to come;
The beams of glory in his word
Allure and guide us home.

3

Pure are the joys above the sky,
And all the region peace;
No wanton lips nor envious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.

4

Those holy gates forever bar
Pollution, sin and shame;
None shall obtain admittance there
But followers of the Lamb.
