Desiring Heaven

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #CCLXIX (1802) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Heaven Longed for First Line: No more I ask or hope to find Lyrics: 1 No more I ask or hope to find, Delight or happiness below; Sorrow may well possess the mind That feeds where thorns and thistles grow. 2 The joy that fades is not for me, I seek immortal joys above; There, glory without end shall be The bright reward of faith and love. 3 Cleave to the world ye sordid worms, contented lick your native dust: But God shall fight, with all his storms, Against the idol of your trust.

Longing for Heaven

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #CLXXI (1802) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Heaven Longed for; Heaven Longed for First Line: Sure 'tis in vain to seek for bliss Lyrics: 1 Sure 'tis in vain to seek for bliss, For bliss can ne'er be found, 'Till we arrive where Jesus is, And tread on heav'nly ground. 2 There's nothing round the spreading skies, Or on this earthy clod; Nothing, my soul that's worth thy joys, Or lovely as thy God. 3 'Tis heav'n on earth to taste his love, To feel his quick'ning grace; And all the heav'n I hope above, Is but to see his face. 4 Why move my years in slow delay? And why this fear to die? Death's but a guide that leads my way, To a superior sky. 5 Dear Sov'reign, break these vital strings, That bind me to my clay; Help me to rise and stretch my wings, And mount and soar away.
