"God... hath begotten us again unto to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time... at the appearing of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, ye love; in whom... ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory" (1 Peter 1:3-8).
Heaven holds our reservation,
Kept by God through our salvation,
Ready for the revelation
Where our joy is stored.
Can you hear the celebration?
Every tribe and every nation
Join and shout in exultation:
Let Christ be adored!
Joyful, wondrous expectation!
Angels, saints, and all creation
Sing to Christ in adoration
With each rising chord.
Happy, single occupation:
Serving Christ with dedication;
Whether joy or tribulation,
Christ is our reward.
Hear this earnest exhortation:
Till we reach our destination,
Let this be our proclamation:
Jesus Christ is Lord!
