“Come up hither; come away :”
Thus the ransomed spirits sing;
Here is cloudless, endless day;
Here is everlasting spring.
Come up hither; come an dwell
With the living hosts above;
Come, and let your bosoms swell
With their burning songs of love.
Come up hither; come and share
All the sacred joys that rise,
Like an ocean, everywhere
Through the myriads of the skies.
Come up hither; come and shine
In the robes of spotless white;
Palms, and harps, and crowns are thine
Hither, hither wing your flight.
Come up hither; hither speed:
Rest is found in heaven alone;
Here is all the wealth you need;
Come, and make this wealth your own.
