Rise, my Soul, behold ‘tis Jesus,
Jesus fills Thy wond’ring eyes;
See Him now in glory seated,
Where thy sins no more can rise.
There, in righteousness
transcendent,
Lo! He doth in heaven appear,
Shows the blood of His atonement
As thy title to be there.
All thy sins were laid upon Him,
Jesus bore them on the tree;
God, who knew them,
laid them on Him,
And believing, thou art free.
God now brings thee
to His dwelling,
Spreads for thee His feast divine,
Bids thee welcome, ever telling
What a portion there is thine.
In that circle of God’s favour,
Circle of the Father’s love,
All is rest, and rest for ever,
All is perfectness above.
Blessèd, glorious word “forever!”
Yes “forever!” is the word;
Nothing can the ransomed sever,
Nought divide them from the Lord.
---Alternative verses---
Blessed circle of His favour,
Circle of the Father's love!
Blessed to be there for ever
In His perfect rest above!
