We sang all four verses often. In the beauty of the lilies, etc., is verse 4. I don't have time to type out all the words, but most have already been posted. 1. Mine eyes have seen the glory, etc. 2. I have seen Him in the watch fires, etc. 3. He has sounded forth the trumpet, etc. 4. In the beauty of the lilies, etc. I always just loved this verse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly a classic in its own rights. God is the Holy God and wants us to be a Holy people. All these scriptures are a real encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tune was written around 1855 by William Steffe. The lyrics at that time were alternately called "Canaan's Happy Shore" or "Brothers, Will You Meet Me?" and the song was sung as a campfire spiritual.

We sang all four verses often. Hmm . . . so the old hymnal didn't have: "I have read a fiery Gospel..." and "He is coming like the glory..." Interesting.
