Mourning, and drooping, here I lie

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXXXI (1791) Lyrics: 1 Mourning, and drooping, here I lie Upon this earthly Clod, While heav'nly Things invite my Eye, And bring me to my GOD. 2 Transported with a glorious View Of God's eternal Love, Unto this World I bid adieu, And long to be Above. 3 There all the Saints in Harmony Do stand forevermore, And to a vast Eternity Their glorious Lord adore, 4 Hark! Hark! Methinks I hear the Sound; Methinks the Angels sing; The glorious Melody goes round, Which makes the Heav'ns to ring. 5 The Saints above do sing a Song (In a melodious Strain) Which doth to God alone belong, And to the Lamb once slain. 6 Wonder, and Love, and Joy, and Praise, Fill all their happy Souls, While the vast Flood of sov'reign Grace Through all the Region rolls. 7 The Saints all cloth'd in white Array, Their Saviour's Praise declare; Through the bright Realms of endless Day There's not one Mourner there. 8 But oh, the Glory of the Place, No Mortal Tongue can tell! Where they behold their Saviour's Face, And in his Presence dwell. 9 Oh, how they each perform their Parts, Thro' all the happy Train! This glorious Song inspires their Hearts, Worthy the Lamb, once slain! 10 Amen, they cry, Amen, Amen, Thy Ways oh God are true; Blessing and Glory, Wisdom, and Thanksgiving is thy Due. 11 Honour, and Pow'r and endless Might, Be giv'n to Thee, oh Lord! In this sweet Song thy all unite, And sing with One Accord. 12 Oh, how the bending Seraphs join To praise the God Above! While all the Saints, in Notes Divine, Do sing redeeming Love. 13 Worthy, oh Lord, worthy art thou; To wear the glorious Crown; So all the Saints in glory bow, And cast their Di'dems down. 14 The Song eternally goes round, To him that made the Sky, I'm lost, I'm lost, to view the Bound Of vast Eternity. 15 When there have past more Million Years Than Sands upon the Shore; The Saints above will have not Fears That the blest Space is o'er, 16 If all the Drops of Oceans wide Were to be number'd o'er, And then by Millions multiply'd, And twice as many more; 17 And then as many Years should pass As Water Drops in all; Or Grains of Sand, or Spires of Grass, Upon this earthly Ball. 18 Then add as many millions more As Stars that fill the Sky; Then all that Number doubled o'er Can't mete Eternity. 19 Eternity will still remain; 'Twill be Eternity. The Song to God the THREE IN ONE Will last eternally. 20 Who can describe the Blessedness Of Pleasure ever new? I long the Glory to possess, And bid all Sin adieu. 21 Farewell my Friends, I long to go; Adieu Death, Sorrow, pain, Adieu to Fears, Adieu to woe; And Welcome endless Gain. 22 Oh, how my Soul doth long to quit This Earth, and Soar away! Oh Jesus, if it is most fit, Let not thy Chariot stay. 23 Come take my longing Spirit up, To dwell with Thee above; I long with Thee, my Lord to sup, On everlasting Love. 24 The Time seems long till Thou dost bring My Soul unto that Place, Where I thy Praise shall ever sing, And rest in thine Embrace.
