Where shall true believers go

Verse 1

Where shall true believers go, When from the flesh they fly? Glorious joys ordained to know, They mount above the sky, To that bright celestial place; There they shall in raptures live, More than tongue can e’er express, Or heart can e’er conceive.

Verse 2

When they once are entered there, Their mourning days are o’er, Pain, and sin, and want, and care, And sighing are no more; Subject then to no decay, Heavenly bodies they put on, Swifter than the lightning’s ray, And brighter than the sun.

Verse 3

But their greatest happiness, Their highest joy, shall be, God their Savior to possess, To know, and love, and see; With that beatific sight Glorious ecstasy is given; This is their supreme delight, And makes a heaven of Heaven.
