O, min tanke flyr hän

Representative Text

1 O, min tanke flyr hän till det härliga land,
Till de strålande stjärnornos värld,
Där minkrona jag får utaf Frälsarens hand,
När jag vunnit och slutat nin färd.

Kör:
Om nu strålande stjärnon i kronan så skön
Blir uppståndelsemorgonenes lön
Skola stjärnor väl då I min krona också
Ståla klart uti himmeln skön?

2 Skall för irrande själ, som åt Frälsaren vanns,
Morgonstjärnan til lön någon få?
Skola då några stjärnor med himmelens glans
Stråla klart i min krona också? [Kör]

3 O, må jag lyckas vinna med kärlek och bön
Några själar åt Herren också,
Och en stjärnbeprydd krona så strålande skön
På uppståndelsemorgonen få. [Kör]

4 O, hvad fröjd skall blifva i himmelen skön
Att få möta de frälsta, om då
Några himmelska stjärnor som tecken och lön
På min krona ock strålande stå! [Kör]
