Come away to the skies

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CLXXXVII (1788) Lyrics: 1 Come away to the skies, My beloved, arise, And rejoice in the day thou wast born: On this festival day, Come exulting away, And with singing to Sion return. 2 We have laid up our love And our treasure above, Tho' our bodies continue below: The redeem'd of the Lord We remember his word, And with singing to Paradise go. 3 With singing we praise The original grace, By our heavenly Father bestow'd; Our being receive From his bounty, and live To the honour and glory of God. 4 For the glory we are Created to share, Both the nature and kingdom divine; Created again That our souls may remain, In time and eternity thine. 5 With thanks we approve The design of that love, Which hath join'd us to Jesus's name; So united in heart, That we never can part, Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb. 6 There, there at his feet, We shall suddenly meet, And be parted in body no more! We shall sing to our lyres, With the heavenly choirs, And our Saviour in glory adore. 7 Hallelujah we sing, To our Father and King, And his rapturous praises repeat, To the Lamb that was slain, Hallelujah again, Sing all heaven, and fall at his feet! 8 In assurance of hope, We to Jesus look up, Till his banner unfurl'd in the air; From our graves we shall see, And cry out, "It is he," And fly up to acknowledge him there.
