My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly, It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, It hastes to seek its Fountain, And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt you come at last, When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead her, with guidance tender, To heaven, her fatherland. 3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously, Released from earthly ties, The fiery care shall bear her up to thee, Through all these lower skies, To yonder shining regions, Where down, to meet her, come The blessed angel-legions, And bid her welcome home. 4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me! How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy nought, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 5 O what the tribe, or what the glorious host, Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones of earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath sent to meet me, As in the far off years Their words oft came to greet me, In yonder land of tears. 6 The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train, With all Christ's followers true, Who bore the cross and could the worst disdain That tyrants dared to do, I see them shine forever, All glorious as the sun, 'Mid light that fadeth never, Their perfect freedom won. 7 And when within that lovely Paradise And last I safely dwell, From out my soul what songs of bliss shall rise, What joy my lips shall tell, While holy saints are singing Hosannas o'er and o'er, Pure hallelujah's ringing, Around me evermore. 8 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne With harp and trumpet raise Glad notes, till heav'ns vast halls vibrate the tone Of their melodious praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song!

Just as Thou wilt, if but it be To bring me, blessed Lord, to Thee! 4 My God, I know not where I die, Where is my grace, beneath what strand; Yet from its gloom I do rely To be delivered by Thy hand. Content, I take what spot is mine, Since all the earth,, my Lord, is Thine. 5 My gracious God, when I must die, O bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy Love: Then comes it right and well to me, When, where, and how my death shall be.

Each morning shall thy mercies shew, Each night thy truth record. 2 Thy goodness, like the sun, Dawn'd on our early days, Ere infant-reason had begun To form our lips to praise. 3 Each object we beheld Gave pleasure to our eyes; And nature all our senses held In bands of sweet surprise. 4 But pleasures more refin'd Awaited that bless'd day, When light arose upon our mind, And chas'd our sins away. 5 How new thy mercies then! How sovereign and how free! Our souls that had been dead in sin, Were made alive to thee. Pause. 6 Now we expect a day Still brighter far than this, When death shall bear our souls away To realms of light and bliss. 7 There rapturous scenes of joy Shall burst upon our sight: And every pain, and tear, and sigh, Be drown'd in endless night. 8 Beneath thy balmy sing, O sun of righteousness, Our happy souls shall sit and sing The wonders of thy grace. 9 Nor shall that radiant day So joyfully begun, In evening shadows die away, Beneath the setting sun. 10 How various and how new Are thy compassions, Lord! Eternity thy love shall shew, And all thy truth record. Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 Languages: English
