When Shall the Voice of Singing

When shall the voice of sing­ing

Flow joy­ful­ly along?

When hill and val­ley ring­ing

With one tri­umph­ant song

Proclaim the con­test end­ed

And Him who once was slain

Again to earth des­cend­ed

In right­eous­ness to reign.

Then from the crag­gy mount­ains

The sac­red shout shall fly

And sha­dy vales and fount­ains

Shall echo the re­ply;

High tow­er and low­ly dwell­ing

Shall send the ec­ho round

All hal­le­lu­jahs swell­ing

In one eter­nal sound.
