Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXLIV (1789) Hymnal Title: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship Lyrics: 1 Now let our souls, on wings sublime,
Rise from the vanities of time;
Draw back the parting veil, and see
The glories of eternity.
2 Born by a new, celestial birth,
Why should we grovel here on earth?
Why grasp at transitory toys,
So near to heavens eternal joys?
3 Shall ought beguile us on the road,
When we are walking back to God?
For strangers into life we come,
And dying is but going home.
4 To dwell with God, to feel his love,
Is the full heaven enjoy'd above;
And the sweet expectation now
Is the young dawn of heaven below. Topics: Life, Death, and a future State Languages: English
