Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

Now let every tongue adore Thee!
Let men with angels sing before Thee!
Let harps and cymbals now unite!
All Thy gates with pearl are glorious,
Where we partake through faith victorious,
With angels round Thy throne of light.
No mortal eye hath seen, no mortal ear hath heard
Such wondrous things;
Therefore with joy our song shall soar
In praise to God forevermore.
