Gospel Song "The Ever-fresh Vistas of the Kingdom"
I
In the East, the rising sun
shines through misty skies,
and the kingdom of great beauty
in this world materialized.
World embraces a new life,
all things revitalized.
Oh! The dawn has come now.
Oh! The light is before our eyes.
Hope of two thousand years
is finally realized.
The years of woe are over,
no more bleak days and nights.
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
II
Flowers bloom and spill sweet smell,
larks sing out high above.
The good news is spread all around.
God's people feel His love,
they freely speak their minds,
all of them as one.
Oh! Pray devoutly. Oh! Praise loud.
Prostrate before the throne.
To God we're giving glory.
Our sisters 'cross the seas,
let us celebrate together,
our distant families.
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
III
God, Master of the universe,
is incarnated in the flesh
and doing His work amongst man.
He brings the life of the kingdom,
expresses words to supply us.
Oh, our hearts are watered
by the water of life,
feeling blessed and sweet.
We're the generation
that God has chosen.
We're the generation
that God has ordained.
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
IV
Entering into God's kingdom,
that's something we all yearn.
Live out the truth to be perfected,
God's promise we will gain.
Oh, forge ahead with all our strength.
Oh, struggle on with all our might.
Satisfy God's will,
and we will shine with
the brightest light.
The spirit of Peter,
we're resolute to strive,
and carry out God's will now
to live a true human life.
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Hallelujah!
