The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#59

59. Come, sing to me of heaven

1 Come, sing to me of heaven,
When I am called to die;
Sing songs of holy ecstasy,
To waft my soul on high.

Chorus:
There'll be no sorrow there,
There'll be no sorrow there,
In heaven above, where all is love,
There'll be no sorrow there.

2 When tho last moment's come,
Oh, watch my dying face,
To catch the bright, seraphic glow
Which in each feature plays. [Chorus]

3 Then to my raptured ear
Let one sweet song be given;
Let music charm me last on earth,
And greet me first in heaven. [Chorus]

4 When round my senseless clay
Assemble those I love,
Then sing of heaven, delightful heaven,
My glorious home above. [Chorus]
