My soul, go boldly forth,
Forsake this sinful earth;
What hath it been to thee
But pain and sorrow?
And thinkest thou it will be
Better to-morrow?
Why wilt thou still delay?
Thou camest not here to stay:
What takest thou for thy part
But heavenly pleasure?
Where then should be thy heart,
But where’s thy treasure?
Thy God, thy Head‘s above;
There is the world of love;
Mansions there purchased are
By Christ’s own merit;
For these he doth prepare
Thee, by his Spirit.
Lord Jesus take my spirit;
I trust thy love and merit:
Take home thy wandering sheep,
For thou hast sought it:
My soul in safety keep,
For thou hast bought it.
