Lyrics

If while we live ’mid sin below,
We would in Christ abide,
Thro’ faith this secret we should know:
Live on the glo­ry side.

Refrain

There’s glo­ry on the glo­ry side,
With Christ once cru­ci­fied,
By faith I rise thro’ cloudy skies:
I’m on the glo­ry side.

Ofttimes the sky seems hung with shrouds,
Which Je­sus’ face would hide;
We’ll push our way above the clouds,
Up to the glo­ry side.

Refrain

The heavy fogs of doubt and fear,
The mists of human pride,
Cannot obscure Christ’s presence near,
His is the glo­ry side.

Refrain

However dark the clouds o’ercast
The starry azure wide,
I’ll gain the heights of Heav’n at last,
Safe on the glo­ry side.
