LyicsOh tell me no more of this world's vain store:
The time for such trifles with me now is o'er;
A country I've found where true joys abound,
To dwell I'm determined on that happy ground.
The souls that believe, in glory shall live,
And me in that number will Jesus receive;
My soul, do n't delay, he calls thee away,
Rise, follow the Savior, and bless the glad day.
No mortal doth know what he can bestow,
What light, strength, and comfort--go after him, go;
Lo, onward I move to a city above,
None guesses how wondrous my journey will prove.
Great spoils I shall win from death, hell, and sin,
'Midst outward afflictions I feel Christ within;
And when I'm to die, receive me, I'll cry;
For Jesus has loved me--I can not tell why.
