XXVI. When I can read my title clear

1 When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to ev'ry fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.

2 Should earth against my soul engage,
And hellish darts be hurl'd,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.

3 Let cares, like a wild deluge come,
And storms of sorrow fall;
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heav'n, my all:

4 There shall I bathe my weary soul,
In seas of heav'nly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast.
