As pilgrims in this vale of tears
We sigh to reach our heavenly home:
That we, released from all our fears,
May tune our harps and cease to roam.
O God, protect us by thy power,
And keep us safe within thy fold;
That we in each unguarded hour,
May never lose on thee our hold.
Oh, wipe the tears from sorrow’s eye,
And let us all rejoice in thee;
Give joy for every rising sigh,
Make us from every fetter free.
Help us to view our dying Lord.
And gaze upon his bleeding side;
That we may, faithful to his word,
Eternally in him abide.
Then when we quit this mortal frame,
Oh, may we soar away to thee;
Raise hallelujah’s to thy name,
And our divine Redeemer see.
