Hymnal: A Selection of Christian Hymns #363 (1818) Topics: Appendix Lyrics: 1 'Tis pure delight, without alloy,
Jesus to hear thy name;
My spirit leaps with inward joy,
I feel the sacred flame.
2 My passions hold a pleasing reign,
While love inspires my breast;
Love, the divinest of the train,
And sovereign of the rest.
3 This is the grace must live and sing,
"When faith and hope shall cease,
Must sound from every joyful string,
Thro' the sweet world of bliss.
4 Let life immortal seize my clay,
Let love refine my blood:
Her flames can bear my soul away.
Can bring me near my God.
5 Swift I ascend the heavenly place,
And hasten to my home;
I leap to meet thy kind embrace,
I come my Lord, I come.
6 Sink down, ye separating hills,
Let guilt and death remove:
'Tis love that drives my chariot wheel
And death must yield to love. Languages: English
