Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #II.LXXV (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books First Line: From thee, my God, my joys shall rise Lyrics: 1 From thee, my God, my joys shall rise,
And run eternal rounds,
Beyond the limits of the skies,
And all created bounds.
2 The holy triumphs of my soul
Shall death itself out-brave;
Leave dull mortality behind,
And fly beyond the grave.
3 There, where my blessed Jesus reigns
In heav'n's unmeasur'd space,
I'll spend a long eternity
In pleasure and in praise.
4 Millions of years my wond'ring eyes
Shall o'er thy beauties rove,
And endless ages I'll adore
The glories of thy love.
5 [Sweet Jesus! ev'ry smile of thine
Shall fresh endearments bring;
And thousand tastes of new delight
From all thy graces spring.
6 Haste, my Beloved, fetch my soul
Up to thy bless'd abode;
Fly, for my Spirit longs to see
My Saviour and my God.] Languages: English
Spiritual and eternal joy; or the beatific sight of Christ
