My comrades through the wilderness,
Who still your bodies feel;
Awhile forget your griefs and fears,
And look beyond the vale of tears,
To that celestial hill.
2 Beyond the bounds of time and space,
Look forward to that heavenly place.
The saints' secure abode:
On faith’s strong eagle pinions rise,
And force your passage to the skies,
And scale the mount of God.
3 Who suffer with our Master here,
We shall before his face appear.
And by His side sit down;
To patient faith the prize is sure,
And all that to the end endure,
The cross shall wear the crown.
4 Thrice blessed, bliss-inspiring hope!
It lifts the fainting spirits up,
It brings to life the dead:
Our conflicts here shall soon be past
And you and I ascend at last,
Triumphant with our head.
5 That great mysterious Deity
We soon with open face shall see;
The beatific sight:
Shall fill the heavenly courts with praise,
And wide diffuse the golden blaze
Of everlasting light.
Amen. Topics: Zion Connectional Hymns Used With Tune: ALLGUTIGER MEIN PREISGESAND
