How blest the place

Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #72 (1845) First Line: How blest the place where Jesus is! Lyrics: 1 How blest the place where Jesus is! The fountain head of life and bliss; Celestial bands, assist my flight, And bear me to those realms of light. On high, above yon vault of blue, That happier land appears in view. Oh! were I once from earth away! Through all its blissful groves to stray. 2 Those blissful groves, so green and fair, Perennial fruit and blossoms bear; And angel forms of various grade, Enjoy their ever-peaceful shade. The seraph tall, with ardour bright, Beloved among the sons of light; And cherub grave, of thoughtful mien, Stray o'er those hills of evergreen. 3 But, oh! to my fond heart more dear, Those whom I loved and cherished here, In white and spotless robes, I see, From pain and death for ever free, Their harps of gold are tuned to sing The triumphs of their Saviour king; And heavenly hill, and grove, and stream, Are vocal with the joy theme. 4 When through the strength of saving grace I finished my appointed race, On that immortal, brighter plain, I'll meet those kindred souls again. Then speed your flight, ye passing years, Till God shalt wipe these failing tears; And bid my exile spirit come, To dwell in that eternal home. Tune Title: HOW BLEST THE PLACE
