Verse 1

What sinners value, I resign: Lord! 'tis enough that Thou art mine! I shall behold Thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness.

Verse 2

This life's a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere: When shall I wake and find me there?

Verse 3

O glorious hour! O blest abode! I shall be near and like my God; And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul.

Verse 4

My flesh shall slumber in the ground Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; Then burst the chains with sweet s Amen.
