Faith leads to joys beyond the sky
Faith in the Joys of Heaven
Hymnal: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, Vol. 1 #70 (1760) First Line: Faith leads to joys beyond the sky Lyrics:
I. Faith leads to joys beyond the sky;
Why then is this weak mind
Afraid to raise a chearful eye
To more than sense can find?
II. Sense can but furnish scenes of woe,
In this low vale of tears;
No groves of heav'nly pleasure grow,
No paradise appears.
III. Ah! why should this mistaken mind
Still rove with restless pain?
Delight on earth expect to find,
Yet still expect in vain?
IV. Faith, rising upward, points her view
To regions in the skies;
There lovelier scenes than Eden knew,
In bright perspective rise.
V. Oh! If this heav'n-born grace were mine,
Would not my spirit soar,
Transported gaze on joys divine,
And cleave to earth no more?
VI. If in my heart true faith appears,
How weak the sacred ray!
Feebly aspiring, prest with fears,
Almost it dies away.
VII. O thou, from whose almighty breath
It first began to rise,
Purge off these mists, these dregs of earth,
And bid it reach the skies.
VIII. Let this weak, erring mind no more,
On earth bewilder'd rove,
But with celestial ardour soar
To endless joys above. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7 Languages: English
