Lyics

SINCE I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I bid farewell to every fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.


Should earth against my soul engage,
And fiery darts be hurled,
Then I would smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.


Let cares, like a wild deluge, come,
And storms of sorrow fall, 
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heaven, my all.


There shall I bathe my weary soul
In seas of heavenly rest;
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful heart.
