Classic Poem

MARTIN 's- LANE Tune .

And am I blest with Jesu's love?
And shall I dwell with him above?
And will the joyful period come
When I shall call the heav'ns my home?

Think, O my soul, what must it be
World of glorious minds to see,
Drink at the fountain head of peace,
And bathe in everlasting bliss!

Hear them all at once proclaim
Eternal glories to the Lamb;
And join, with joyful heart and tongue,
That new, that never-ending song!

And does the happy hour draw near,
When Christ will in the clouds appear;
And I without a vail shall see
The M AN , the G OD that bled for me!

If in my soul such joy abounds
While weeping faith explores his wounds,
How glorious will those scars appear
When perfect bliss forbids a tear!

Think, O my soul, if 'tis so sweet
On earth to sit at Jesu's feet,
What must it be to wear a crown,
And sit with Jesus on his throne!
