Had I a throne above the rest,
Where angels and archangels dwell,
One sin, unslain within my breast,
Would make that heav'n as dark as hell.
The pris'ner, sent to breathe fresh air,
And bless'd with liberty again.
Would mourn were he condemn'd to wear
One link of all his former chain.
But Oh! no foe invades the bliss,
When glory crowns the christian's head!
One view of Jesus as he is,
Will strike all sin for ever dead.
Had I a throne above the rest,
Where angels and archangels dwell,
One sin, unslain within my breast,
Would make that heav'n as dark as hell.
The pris'ner, sent to breathe fresh air,
And bless'd with liberty again.
Would mourn were he condemn'd to wear
One link of all his former chain.
But Oh! no foe invades the bliss,
When glory crowns the christian's head!
One view of Jesus as he is,
Will strike all sin for ever dead.
