Ev'ry moment brings me nearer
To my long sought rest above;
Higher mounts my soul, and higher—
0 how happy to remove;
|: Then, for ever, :|
Shall I sing redeeming love.
Soon shall I be gone to glory—
Join the bright, angelic race,
There repeat the pleasing story—
I was sav’d by sovereign grace :
|: And for ever :|
View my loving Saviour’s face.
Tho' my burden sore oppress me,
And I shrink beneath my pain,
Jesus he will soon release me,
And your loss will be my gain:
|: Precious Saviour, :|
With my Lord I shall remain.
