Desiring to depart and be with CHRIST

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CXCV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns First Line: While on the verge of life I stand Lyrics: 1 While on the verge of life I stand, And view the scene on either hand, My spirit struggles with my clay, And longs to wing its flight away. 2 Where Jesus dwells my soul would be; And faints my much lov'd Lord to see; Earth, twine no more about my heart, For 'tis far better to depart. 3 Come, ye angelic envoys, come, And lead the willing pilgrim home? Ye know the way to Jesus' throne, Source of my joys, and of your own. 4 That blissful interview, how sweet! To fall transported at his feet! Rais'd in his arms to see his face, Thro' the full beamings of his grace! 5 As with a seraph's voice to sing! To fly as on a cherub's wing! Performing with unweary'd hands, The present Saviour's high commands. 6 Yet, with these prospects full in sight, We'll wait thy signal for the flight; For while thy service we pursue, We find a heaven in all we do.
