505. From Egypt lately come

1.

From Egypt lately come,

Where death and darkness reign,

We seek our new, our better home,

Where we our rest shall gain :

Refrain

Hallelujah ! Hallelujah !

We are on our way to God.

2.

There sin and sorrow cease,

And, conflict all are o'er,

There we shall dwell in endless peace,

And never hunger more :

Hallelujah ! Hallelujah ! etc.

3.

How sweet the prospect is !

It cheers the pilgrim's breast ;

We're journeying through the wilderness,

But soon shall gain our rest :

Hallelujah ! Hallelujah ! etc.
