Come, let us go to heaven;—the way,
Like darkness, opens into day,
When from the turning-point of night,
Breaks the first beam of morning light.
Come, let us go to heaven;—our guide
Is Christ who lived, is Christ who died,
And rose again; his staff and rod,
Through life and death, will lead to God.
Come, let us go to heaven;—forsake
Son, earth, and hell, and gladly take
His easy yoke, his pleasant load,
And brave the dangers of the road.
Come, let us go to heaven;—and press
On through the howling wilderness;
Yet fear not, little flock, though foes
Without, within, your course oppose.
Come, let us go to heaven,—no power,
Not Satan roaring to devour,
Nor all his hosts, can harm, for ye,
Through Christ, shall more than conquerors be.
Come, let us go to heaven;—and meet
Once and for ever, round his feet;
Yea, in Christ’s kingdom, as his own,
Sit down with him upon his throne.
Can these things be?—they are, are sure
To all who to the end endure;
While unbelief cries, “can they be?”
Come, let us go to heaven and see.
