Upward my soul transported flies,
To yonder scenes above the skies,
Where Christ unveils his lovely face,
So full of majesty and grace.
No thorns o’spread the sacred ground,
Nor sin nor sorrow there is found;
No anxious fear, no heart distress,
But perfect peace and holiness.
There living streams of pleasure flow,
Unknown, untasted here below;
or if a transient taste be given,
It is the antepast of heaven.
