Sweet glories rush upon my sight,
And charm my wond'ring eyes;
The regions of immortal light,
The beauties of the skies!
All hail! ye fair celestial shores,
Ye lands of endless day;
Swift on my view your prospect pours,
And drives my griefs away.
There's a delightful clearness now—
My clouds of doubt are gone;
Fled is my former darkness too—
My fears are all withdrawn.
Short is the passage—short the space
Between my home and me;
There! there behold the radiant place!
How near the mansions be!
Immortal wonders! boundless things.
In those dear worlds appear!
Prepare me, Lord, to stretch my wings,
And in those glories share.
