Oh, tell me no more
Of this world’s vain store,
The time for such trifles
with me now is o’er.
A country I found
Where true joys abound;
To dwell I’m determined
on that happy ground.
Send a blessing,
send a blessing just now.
The souls that believe,
In paradise live,
And me in that number
will Jesus receive;
My soul, don’t delay —
He calls thee away;
Rise, follow Thy Savior
and bless the glad day.
Send a blessing,
send a blessing just now.
But this do I find:
We too are so joined,
He’ll not live in glory
and leave me behind;
So this is the race
I’m running through grace,
Henceforth till admitted
to see my Lord’s face.
Send a blessing,
send a blessing just now.
