From Thee, My God, My Joys Shall Rise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1641 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1. From Thee, my God, my joys shall rise, And run eternal rounds, Beyond the limits of the skies, Beyond the limits of the skies, And all created bounds, And all created bounds. 2. The holy triumphs of my soul Shall death itself outbrave, Leave dull mortality behind, Leave dull mortality behind, And fly beyond the grave, And fly beyond the grave. 3. There, where my blessèd Jesus reigns, In Heav’n’s unmeasured space, I’ll spend a long eternity, I’ll spend a long eternity, In pleasure and in praise, In pleasure and in praise. 4. Millions of years my wondering eyes Shall o’er Thy beauties rove, And endless ages I’ll adore And endless ages I’ll adore The glories of Thy love, The glories of Thy love. 5. Sweet Jesus, every smile of Thine Shall fresh endearments bring; And thousand tastes of new delight And thousand tastes of new delight From all Thy graces spring, From all Thy graces spring. 6. Haste, my Belovèd, fetch my soul Up to Thy blest abode; Fly, for my spirit longs to see, Fly, for my spirit longs to see My Savior and my God, My Savior and my God.
