Eternal Weight Of Glory

[Verse 1]
D                          G   D
Now the days and hours and moments
D       G         A       D
Of our suff’ring seem so long;
D                          G    D
And the toilsome wait and wond’ring
D         Bm     A       D
Threaten silence to our song.
D        G               D
Now our pain is real and pressing
D          Bm            D    A
Where our faith is thin and weak,
A        D              G  D
But our hope is set on Jesus;
D        G       A        D
And we cling to him, our strength.
 
[Verse 2]
D                    G   D
Oh eternal weight of glory!
D     G    A     D
Oh inheritance divine!
D                      G     D
We will see our Lord redeeming
D      Bm       A      D
Every past and future time.
D        G                 D
All our pains will be transfigured,
D         Bm              D   A
Like the scars of Christ our Lord.
A        D                 G  D
We will see the weight of glory,
D        G     A      D
And our broken years restored.
 
[Chorus]
D       G             D
For behold! I tell a myst’ry:
D       Bm            D    A
At the trumpet sound we’ll wake
 A         G               D
“Death is swallowed up in vict’ry!”
D        G         D       A
When we meet our King of Grace
A      G                   D
Every year we thought was wasted
D      G        F#          Bm
Every night we cried “How long?”
Bm       G      D     A   D
All will be a passing moment
D       Bm       A       D
In our Savior’s vict’ry song
 
[Verse 3]
D                        G  D
We will see our wounded Savior.
D      Bm         A       D
We’ll behold him face to face;
D                             G   D
And we’ll hear our anguished stories
D        Bm      A        D
Sung as vict’ry songs of grace.
 
[Chorus]
D     G               D
For behold! I tell a myst’ry:
D       Bm            D    A
At the trumpet sound we’ll wake
  A         Bm             D
“Death is swallowed up in vict’ry!”
D        G        D       A
When we meet our King of Grace
A      Bm                  D
Every year we thought was wasted
D      G         F#         Bm
Every night we cried “How long?”
Bm        G           D
All will be a passing moment
D        Bm      A       D
In our Savior’s vict’ry song
 
[Bridge]
A      Bm                  D
Every year we thought was wasted
D      G        F#          Bm
Every night we cried “How long?”
Bm       G             D
All will be a passing moment
D        Bm       A      D
In our Savior’s vict’ry song
