Text:The Soul in the Exercise of Faith

LX. The Soul in the Exercise of Faith

1 You saints of light that shine so bright,
Above the lofty skies,
Come sing aloud since you're endow'd
With holy exercise.

2 My soul doth long to sing a song
Unto my Lord above;
And there unite in sweet delight,
With all the saints in love.

3 And spend away eternal day,
In lofty songs of praise,
And thus engage throughout the age
Of everlasting days.

4 When I get grace and strength of face,
to strike these heav'nly notes,
I'll praise him too as angels do,
With their sweet warbling throats.
