GREAT M ILTON T UNE

Jesus, away from earth I fly,
And with thy church unite;
Thy saints shall be my company,
Thy presence my delight.

Thy name shall dwell upon my tongue,
Through all the heav'nly road;
Thy truth and grace shall be my song
Till I get home to God.

The wonders of thy bleeding love
For one so vile as I
Shall often draw my heart above,
And fix my thoughts on high.

Yes, in thy name I will rejoice,
And triumph in thy word;
In echo to my heart, my voice
Shall magnify the Lord.

And may I never cease to tell
The wonders of his love,
Till heav'nly notes my bosom swell
In yonder courts above:

Till I, without a jarring sound,
Thy free salvation sing,
And make those crystal walls resound
The glories of my King.
