Nor Eye Has Seen, nor Ear Has Heard

Verse 1

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

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

He keeps the Father’s book of life,
There all their names are found;
The hypocrite in vain shall strive
To tread the heavenly ground.
