Happy soul! we now resign thee,
Called by the great I Am;
Left thy troubles all behind thee—
Gone to glorify the Lamb;
|: And for ever, :|
Sing the wonders of his name.
Gone to join the heavenly choir,
’Ray’d in spotless garments bright;
Gone thy Saviour to admire,
Who is now thy soul’s delight :
|: And for ever. :|
Sing his praises day and night.
There the once despised Christian,
Free from all his grief and pain,
Feels the sweetness of religion—
Proves his life was not in vain ;
|: And for ever, :|
With his Jesus shall remain.
